It was a busy morning for our crews on US 97 Blewett Pass, which closed for about four hours due to heavy snow, multiple spin outs and poor visibility. Once the disabled vehicles were cleared, our crews were able to get the highway plowed and back open. It will continue to be a busy holiday for all of our road workers, especially those who handle our passes, so we offer a huge THANKS for their hard work and ask that everyone help them out by giving them as much room as possible and slowing down

Don’t want to hear you say ... that you don’t have any use for tire chains. You do. Yes, even if you have AWD/4WD. With snow expected in the passes this weekend, now is a good time to get in the habit of carrying chains as part of your winter driving kit AND practice installing them before you head out. If a “tire chains required” advisory pops up on our digital signs, be prepared to pull over and chain up. “But I have AWD/4WD!” Great! When our mountain pass advisories read “tire chains required

US 2 is now fully open across Stevens Pass! Crews spent the day clearing the final downed power lines and addressing potentially hazardous trees, followed by plowing and treating the highway. While drivers may still see utility crews in the area, the highway is fully open in time for the weekend. The highway closed on Sunday after heavy snowfall brought down power lines and trees between Gold Bar and the Stevens Pass summit, creating hazardous travel conditions. We know this has been a stressful

ORIGINAL POST: While both directions of I-90 Snoqualmie Pass remain closed after unprepared drivers crashed, blocking the road and damaging concrete barriers, our crews on US 2 Stevens Pass continue to work to keep that highway plowed. This video is a good example of what plowing is, and isn't. When our crews plow, they are working to
