BREAKING

UPDATE (3:55 p.m.) The following roads will likely remain CLOSED OVERNIGHT in both directions due to worsening conditions:

- 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)

--------

UPDATE: I-90 is CLOSED in both directions from North Bend to Ellensburg (MP 34-106) AND WILL REMAIN CLOSED OVERNIGHT. The 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.

Normally, we would bring resources in from the lowlands to assist, but there is snow in those areas and those resources are not available.

EXPECT CHALLENGING CROSS-STATE TRAVEL TODAY. IF YOU DON'T NEED TO TRAVEL, DON'T.

Conditions change quickly, and I wouldn't rely on this post for the most up-to-date information. Your best bet for real-time conditions is our travel map:

And for those wondering: We haven't a chance to talk to Steve today. He's based in Spokane, and they got some snow, so even if he's not plowing, he's probably making snow angels somewhere. Sleeveless, as always.
