“Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I ask for a moment of silence.” That was U.S. Representative Kim Schrier from the House floor in Washington, D.C. A moment to honor the three little girls from Wenatchee found dead more than a week ago near Leavenworth, Washington.

Their father accused and charged in the killings.

A massive search for him is underway by ground, air and water.

Congress held that moment of silence last week.

Here's Schrier again, joined by Congressman Dan Newhouse, both of whom represent parts of central and eastern Washington.

“These young girls had brought so much joy to their classrooms and their family and their community, and this is just an unspeakable tragedy.” “Tragedy and sorrow fell on Wenatchee, Washington, this week with the loss of three beautiful young girls, Evelyn, Paityn and Olivia Decker.

” Several popular recreation areas are closed in the Leavenworth area while the search for Travis Decker wears on.

He is considered dangerous.

He's described as five foot eight, 190 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

If you see him, don't approach him.

June is Pride month, and for the first time ever, a rainbow flag is flown outside of a Pierce County office building.

This is noteworthy because of a controversy last year, but now four buildings are flying the pride flag.

Here's Ryan Mello.

He spoke out last year after a council member in the county said they wouldn't sit in the building where the pride flag flew.

“When people like me see this symbol.

It means that we are seen, that we are valued, that we matter.” Mello is Pierce County's first openly gay executive.

The flag at county headquarters is called the Progress Pride Flag.

It has stripes of light blue, pink and white to represent the transgender community, and one brown and one black stripe to be inclusive of communities of color.

According to the Human Rights Campaign, the black stripe also remembers those who died during the HIV Aids crisis of the 1980s and 90s.
