Snoqualmie Pass Could Get Crowded With Fire Reroutes — Dave’s Diary

The Washington State Department of Transportation warns road closures from wildfires in north central Washington could reroute several thousand more vehicles onto Interstate 90 over Snoqualmie Pass this weekend.

The WSDOT predicts about 8,000 more vehicles could travel on I-90 on Friday and about 9,000 more vehicles on Sunday. Drivers need to plan for added travel time and pack their patience.  For more information regarding statewide closures due to wildfires please visit our WSDOT Blog.
