A waterfront house in Washington state with a view of Seattle's skyline was pushed into Puget Sound by a mudslide, killing a family of four. The mudslide slammed into the back of the three-story house. Melting snow from storms late last month and last week's steady rain have saturated area hillsides on the island west of Seattle.
