What was suppose to be a closure for avalanche control that ended at 9 AM
this morning (3/20) on I90 through the Snoqualmie Pass area will continue at
least until 4 PM today. Cars and tractor trailers stacking up around this
reporting station as they await the opening of this critical roadway
connecting eastern and western Washington state. The Red Cross opened a
shelter providing warm drinks, snacks, cots and blankets for stranded
drivers at Si View Community Center in North Bend, about 20 miles west of
Snoqualmie Pass (the site of the east bound closure at exit 34). Snoqualmie
Pass has now received over 50 inches of heavy wet snow in the last 3 days
and snow continues as of this report. Avalanche warnings have also been put
in place with high avalanche danger beginning at the 3000 to 4000 foot
level.
