The portfolio is broad because the Tribe’s operating needs are broad. Many of PTE’s companies started as a solution to something the Tribe needed for itself, then grow into market-facing businesses.
Some serve the public directly. Others work behind the scenes in logistics, manufacturing, construction, fuel, and infrastructure. Together, these companies employ people, serve customers, generate revenue, and expand what the Tribe can do for itself.
These businesses move freight, passengers, and maritime activity through Tacoma, Puget Sound, and the Pacific Northwest. With waterfront land at the Port of Tacoma, the Tribe has a direct role in the region’s trade and transportation economy.
Port to Shelf.
TGL provides freight coordination through the Port of Tacoma, with capabilities across container depot and storage, heavy equipment transload, project cargo, warehousing, and barge connections between Tacoma and Alaska. The operation sits in the Port’s heavy-haul corridor adjacent to East Blair 1. Depot 1 and Depot 2 run two sites on the Blair Waterway, totaling 46.5 acres within the Tribe’s 128-acre Blair Waterway property.
Where the South Sound Takes Flight.
In partnership with Kenmore Air, the Puyallup Tribe Air Terminal connects Tacoma to regional destinations and scenic water-based travel. It gives the Tribe a new role in passenger movement and creates a public gateway between Tacoma, Tribal enterprise, and destinations across the Pacific Northwest. Flight season is May through September with daily flights to Seattle, San Juan Islands, and Victoria, B.C.
A Slip on the Sound.
Chinook Landing Marina serves commercial and recreational maritime users on Puget Sound. With more than 200 slips and planned improvements to fuel and dry dock capacity, the marina supports the Tribe’s role on the working waterfront.
PTE’s manufacturing businesses serve customers who need durable products and specialized production.
Every Surface Tells a Story. We Print Yours.
Tahoma Print & Manufacturing gives PTE specialized production capability across two very different markets: highly engineered printed components for industrial customers that require exact specifications, including productized solutions such as Pumpskins, and large-format signage and customer-facing graphics for public-facing businesses and branded environments.
PTE acquired the company and continued developing it into a broader platform for technical production, commercial printing, and visual communication.
Returning COntainers to HOme.
COHO Container Modification converts shipping containers into durable modular spaces, including incident command centers, offices, and residential solutions. With in-house production and finishing, COHO serves customers looking for flexible infrastructure that can be transported, placed, and deployed on short notice.
Construction, fuel, and energy readiness, built around the Tribe’s own priorities.
Puyallup Built.
As the Tribe develops more businesses and facilities, construction becomes part of the work. Tahoma Construction Services manages projects that turn Tribal priorities into finished places, including housing, cultural facilities, casino parking infrastructure, medical facilities, and vocational education spaces. Tahoma Construction Services proves PTE can build, manage, and execute physical development.
Fueled by Puyallup.
Tahoma Fuel operates six gas and convenience locations across Fife and Tacoma, giving the Tribe daily commercial presence in one of the area’s busiest transportation corridors. It also strengthens internal Tribal commerce through the Point-for-Fuel program, which connects Tahoma Fuel with Emerald Queen Casino’s player rewards system.
Tahoma Fuel also supports the Tribe’s internal supply chain by distributing alcoholic beverages to Woven Seafood & Chophouse and Emerald Queen Casino, keeping more purchasing activity inside the Tribe’s own enterprise system.
Energy reliability is becoming a larger part of economic readiness. PTE’s investment in SkipTech reflects an interest in long-duration energy storage and infrastructure that can support future growth.
PTE’s retail and consumer goods businesses bring Tribally owned brands directly to customers. These companies create public connection through clear market demand and a distinct Tribal point of view.
Happiness You Can Eat.
The Puyallup language’s word for chocolate is hiiɫdaliɫəd, happy food. The brand carries that idea into everything it makes. Puyallup Chocolates ships nationwide, reaches customers in eight states, and sells through regional retail and wholesale channels. Regionally, it can be found at Metropolitan Market, Costco Business Centers, and hundreds of independent shops. Through wholesale and corporate gifting partnerships, Puyallup Chocolates turns confections into gifts that carry pride.
Puyallup Chocolates shows PTE’s ability to build a consumer brand from product development through packaging, retail placement, gifting, fulfillment, and national shipping.
A Puyallup Strain of Quality.
Commencement Bay Cannabis operates four retail stores in Fife and Tacoma and produces proprietary cannabis products alongside its retail business. The company builds diversified revenue in a highly regulated market while developing a strong local retail platform.
PTE’s entertainment and hospitality businesses create places and experiences where people gather. From gaming and golf to waterfront dining and live performance, these companies put the Tribe’s culture into public experience.
The Entertainment Destination of the Northwest.
Emerald Queen Casino is the Puyallup Tribe’s flagship gaming and hospitality destination and a major anchor of the Tribe’s economy. PTE’s enterprise work connects to EQC through strategic planning, shared business opportunities, and cross-portfolio initiatives.
Golf Forged in the Northwest.
Cedar Irons Golf is an 18-hole championship course and public golf destination in Tacoma. Set within the natural character of the Pacific Northwest, the course brings together golf, community, and a renewed experience for players of all levels. Cedar Irons adds public recreation and hospitality capability to the portfolio.
Asian Pacific Flavors. Pacific Northwest Soul.
Woven Seafood & Chophouse is a waterfront dining destination developed in partnership with chef Roy Yamaguchi. The restaurant brings together Asian Pacific and Pacific Northwest culinary influences in a setting connected to the water and Puyallup People. Woven proves PTE can operate a public-facing hospitality brand with cultural and commercial significance.
Where Community Takes the Stage.
Riverbend is a 22,000-square-foot multi-use venue in downtown Tacoma, gifted to the Tribe and opening in 2027. Planned as a café, bar, and performance hall, Riverbend gives the Tribe a downtown gathering place for Native programming and public events.
A Tribe taking care of its whole community through one of the region’s hardest health crises.
Recovery Starts with Access.
Cedar Wellness responds to one of the region’s most urgent health crises with care built around access. The Tacoma outpatient clinic is open seven days a week, providing medication-assisted treatment for opioid and substance use disorders, mental health services, and patient navigation for anyone in the community who needs care.
Because transportation is often the first barrier to treatment, Cedar Wellness partners with Uber to help patients get there at no cost. People can’t recover if they can’t get to care. Cedar Wellness extends PTE’s operating role into community health infrastructure.
