Quil Ceda Village is a municipality within the Tulalip Indian Reservation which includes the Quil Ceda Village Business Park, a commercial development constructed and operated by the Tulalip Tribes. The complex contains the tribe's casino, resort hotel, several retailers, and an outlet mall.
In 2001, the Bureau of Indian Affairs approved the Village's status as a municipality and the IRS approved its status as a political subdivision of the Tulalip tribal government under the Indian Tribal Government Tax Status Act of 1982, making it the first tribal political subdivision under this Act in the nation and the only other federal city besides Washington, DC.
The village is chartered by the tribe as a consolidated borough with council-manager government. The village manager is John McCoy (Tulalip), who also serves as the Washington state representative from Tulalip.

Famous quotes containing the word village:
“Ezra Pound still lives in a village and his world is a kind of village and people keep explaining things when they live in a village.... I have come not to mind if certain people live in villages and some of my friends still appear to live in villages and a village can be cozy as well as intuitive but must one really keep perpetually explaining and elucidating?”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
