sitelist[site][1]"\n" is not valid. I think you want sitelist[site][1] + "\n"

You can simplify things by using items():
  for key, value in sitelist.items():
      out_file.write(key +","+value[0] +","+value[1]+"\n")

% formatting can make it even nicer:
      out_file.write("%s,%s,%s\n" % (key, value[0], value[1])

Just out of curiosity, would you explain "Crew, Camrose McDonalds and 
owner/operator of Woffee"
