Latest update on I90 Snoqualmie Pass and Stevens Pass

Buckle up, we're looking at some overnight closures as conditions worsen. The following highways will likely remain CLOSED OVERNIGHT in both directions:

- I-90 from North Bend to Ellensburg (MP 34-106)
- US 2 from west of the Summit to Coles Corner (MP 55-85)
- SR 410 from Enumclaw to Greenwater (MP 26-43)

MORE ON I-90: This highway has severe compact snow and ice, making for treacherous driving conditions with more weather on the way. Spring storms bring freeze/thaw/freeze conditions, essentially turning I-90 into an ice rink.

People currently on I-90 and trying to get off should contact Snoqualmie Pass Fire & Rescue. There is some access between Easton and Ellensburg via SR 10 and SR 97. But you cannot travel east from North Bend to Snoqualmie.

MORE ON US 2: People can leave the resort on WB US 2 Stevens Pass, but with I-90 Snoqualmie Pass closed, it's a long detour if you're trying to get back to Leavenworth.

Happy Friday the 13th

THIS IS A HIGHWAY. YOU CAN’T PARK THERE. But because so many people did anyway, US 2 is now CLOSED between mileposts 55 and 85 because our plows are not able to clear the road. If you have selfishly chosen to block our crews and first responders, come move your car off the highway.

Check roads before you venture out

Winter finally decided to show up. Leave early and take time to get to your destination, the roads are slick. Most importantly, clear the snow from your car for the safety of others. Be careful out there 🚒🚑
