The good folks at the Tulalip Resort Casino shared a "back of the house" tour of both the hotel and casino sides of their operation. Here are some tidbits from our tour on the hotel side.Housekeeping: The hotel's housekeeping operation has a capacity to handle 1000 rooms, in line with plans for a second tower. The operation includes giant washers and driers, featuring the "Chicago Mangler," a huge, $1.2M machine that spreads, dries, irons, and folds -- feed in a wet sheet, and it comes out pressed and folded. We were treated to a fine view of the giant lint vat (the lint traps in housekeeping are, we're told, the number one hotel fire hazard).
