Forks, Washington (AP)
The Hoh Tribe hopes Congress will vote this year on expanding its reservation so 300 resident can move out of the flood and tsunami zone at the mouth of the Hoh River.
Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell and Rep. Norm Dicks are sponsoring the legislation that would let the tribe expand its 1 square mile reservation to add 425 adjoining acres it has acquired plus 37 acres from Olympic National Park.
