Our hearts are with the communities affected by these devastating wildfires. SR 291 and SR 155 remain closed due to active wildfire response. Never drive around road closures—conditions can change in minutes. For the latest Eastern WA road closures, follow @east.wsdot.wa.gov. Stay safe.

Smoke billows in the distance. On the left, a line of cars waits to safely evacuate. On the right, a cop car is parked with their emergency lights on and the rest of the roadway remains clear for emergency responders using the lanes to travel westbound towards the fires.

Did you know our fish passage projects also benefit wildlife? We spotted this little fawn at one of our completed US 101 fish barrier removal sites. When we replace barriers to fish with larger culverts or bridges, wildlife can pass under the highway instead of across it 🦌💙

It's Work Zone Awareness Month & work zones come in all stripes - like @wsdot.wa.gov's mobile striping crew! They took advantage of dry weather and refreshed 32 miles of SR 410 btwn Enumclaw & Greenwater for safety & visibility. Give them a brake & slow down if you see them.🧡

LAST CALL: Studded tires must be removed by March 31 in Washington. Keep them on past the deadline and risk a $137 fine from Washington State Patrol. Plan ahead, tire shops get busy. If winter makes a comeback, use approved traction tires or carry chains.

(1/2) Spring has sprung on State Route 20 North Cascades Highway! The seasonal clearing starts next Monday, March 23. The team will start at Early Winters (MP 178) and head west, so we ask those who keep snowmobiles parked at the gate to please move them before Monday morning.

OPEN: SR 410 has REOPENED between Enumclaw and Greenwater. WSDOT maintenance crews worked from sunrise to sunset since Friday to clear 100+ fallen trees and plow/treat more than 60 highway miles.

WSDOT Traffic@traffic.wsdot.wa.gov · 5mo ago

UPDATE 4: Conditions on SR 410 between Enumclaw & Greenwater have worsened throughout the day. Our crews will work as long as we can but we don't anticipate that SR 410 will reopen today. We acknowledge the frustration & remain committed to reopening as soon as it is safe.

US 2 Tumwater Canyon closure is "Over Now", but with snow continuing to fall this Friday morning, we are at chains required on both Stevens Pass and Blewett Pass. "Don't Follow" plows too close and drive for conditions with headlights on. "No Excuses".

Good morning from SR 410 between Enumclaw and Greenwater. Our crews are responding to downed trees and heavy snow across the region. Expect the unexpected - sudden road closures, fallen power lines or debris. Drive slowly for conditions and give our crews space to work @wsdot.wa.gov
