Labu-BOO! Remember that the scariest thing on the road tonight should be a child dressed as a pop culture reference you’re too old to understand.
Be extra cautious driving today, and keep an eye out for trick-or-treaters. Happy Halloween!

There will be snow on SR 20 North Cascades Highway this weekend. Crews are prepared, are you? Tires, warm coat, full tank of gas, charged cell, headlights on and-most of all- driving for conditions. Slower is better than a spin out. On the road we're in it together.

No more pilot car on US 97 Blewett Pass, but crews continue to deal with the Labor Mountain Fire, so plan for flaggers and reduced speeds, and be aware that trailheads and campgrounds in the area are closed due to the fire.
Please plan ahead and be patient.

(1/3) US 97 Blewett Pass will remain closed (MP 149-178) over the weekend due to Labor Mountain Fire activity. Conditions will be reassessed on Monday (10/6).
That means additional traffic on I-90 and US 2 as we all head out on weekend adventures.

US 97 Blewett Pass remains closed between MP 149-178 due to the Labor Mountain Fire. The pass has been closed since Sept. 21. Fire remains active on both sides of the road and visibility is low. There is no estimated time to reopen. When Blewett is closed, that puts added traffic on I-90 and US 2.

UPDATE #9: Crews continue work on the White River Bridge. Installing each brace takes time because we have to reposition equipment & balance the load before moving forward. Braces add strength & gets us closer to starting permanent repairs & ultimately reopening later this fall.

On this day in 1963, the original SR 520 floating bridge opened.
The same day, Dr. King gave his “I Have a Dream” speech in D.C.
Two bridges built that day. One across water, connecting communities; one across injustice, calling a nation to reflect.
