Members of the Puyallup Tribe are among the 30,000 people in Washington who are being evacuated due to widespread flooding.
The tribe's casino is serving as a shelter for those fleeing the floods. An estimated 6,000 people on and near the reservation are affected.
A storm, combined with melting snow and ice, contributed to what some are calling the worst floods in decades.
