OULSBO — When anyone chooses to leave a portion of his or her estate to an organization outside of family, it is considered a sign of respect and admiration for the work of that organization. In that vein, renowned artist
Max Hayslette, who has called Kitsap home for several decades, has offered Martha & Mary a gift of enormous value and importance: A bequest of art that will include all unsold originals from The Northwest Collection and exclusive reproduction rights on
all pieces in that body of work. “Martha & Mary is a jewel in our community and I am excited at this opportunity to contribute not just to a fine care center but also to give back to a community that I have lived in for more than 50 years,” Hayslette said.
For those with even a passing knowledge of the art world, Max Hayslette is a familiar name. His paintings are on display in more than 300 private, corporate, and public collections — from the Rockefeller Foundation and See HAYSLETTE, Page 2

LITTLE BOSTON — You’ll sit in the outdoor gathering area and you’ll notice that the stained concrete floor will have a design resembling a Coast Salish spindle whorl. You’ll enjoy some quiet time or, perhaps, a salmon or clambake. Maybe you’ll go on a walk among the tall cedars and firs that share the adjacent forest with 12-foot totem poles. You can take a shuttle to nearby cultural sites or other places of interest, or participate in an activity alongside one of the nation’s most noted horticulturalists. Afterward, your evening plans might include a fine dinner and live entertainment. This is the vision of those planning The Point Hotel, a four-story, 94-room hotel to be built next to The Point Casino and Event Center. And, as seen in other

Native American hotel casino resorts, this economic venture is not just about gaming. “Millennials are not as into pushing a button on a slot machine,” said Leo Culloo, general manager of The Point Casino. He said casino-hotel guests in Nevada spend
more on food and entertainment than they do on gaming. While spending on gaming still outpaces food and entertainment at Native American casino-hotels in Washington state, Culloo said the desire for a broader experience is influencing the diversification
here. Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe executive director Kelly Sullivan added, “It is important that this hotel look and feel special. For our guests, we want to create an experience they aren’t going to find See HOTEL, Page A2
