Tulalip: Broken pipe triggers evacuation

A broken water pipe triggered a fire alarm and forced gamblers to evacuate the Tulalip Casino in Tulalip around 11:10 a.m. Sunday, casino President Ken Kettler said.

The pipe burst because of the cold weather, he said. The Marysville Fire District responded and the pipe was repaired.

Don Burns said he was eating when the alarm went off. After waiting about 40 minutes in his car, Burns reluctantly decided to go home.

“We lost out on breakfast and I know that big jackpot was just around the corner,” he said.

Kettler said he doesn’t know how many people were evacuated, but they were all back inside before noon.

“The all-clear was given by the fire department, everybody was let back in and by that time the Seahawks were behind,” Kettler said.
