The Emerald Queen, Tacoma's Puyallup Tribal Casino, can probably be seen from orbit.

They're finishing up the new facility, a hotel/casino combo situated along I-5. It's so huge and so brightly lit that we'll probably be seeing pictures of it from the ISS soon.


Quite a change from the tiny gambling house in an old paddle-wheeler it startd out as.

By now, they've outgrown four buildings.
