if we can't get acrossed the passes!!

what they said on the radio at 400 pm today was that all 3 passes were closed today and snoqualmie is closed for the next 3 days to clear and assess avalanche dangers, dont look good right now

Stevens is still open, I didnt here I90 closed for 3 days I read that it might open tomorrow but who knows. and you can always go down to Portland and follow the columbia river over, we might end up having to do that.

The DOT says its going to reevaluate in the morning, whatever that means. The weather looks good starting tom. morning. lots of people buying tickets so i am heading over in the morning to build whether it be I-90 or 84 up the dalles.

i heard that I90 is gonna close to!!

It's 7:09p.m. in the (50F) balmy metropolis of North Bend WA. The pass is closed local roads (stores) too. The rivers are full and all sorta stuff is floating by on the middle fork of the Snoqualmie river need proof scope out NWCN. It’s raining raining and more raining out here in the wilderness and the man says it's gonna let up. I believe him. This aint that wimpy Seattle kinda rain this is real deal. It's the makes me wanna build a boat or maybe honker down with a good sandwich kinda rain. Cleaned me gutters this morning before heading into work scapped snow coming home. Living in the hood is great!

Will I-90 be open in time for Saturday's race. I think so. Actually if the temps and rain keep up the pass should be no problem heading either direction come Sat. Friday. But that's just me, what do I know. Only lived out here in the hood fer (some might say) a while.

a while, yur older than dirt workman. Come on really, I think your even older than ready teddy and me

(laughing) o' so true Lee, but not older than rocks!

Good Luck! Looks like Eatonville to Elbe to Morton to I-5 might get you past Lake I-5.

Can anyone confirm the Eatonville-Morton route?

OLYMPIA - As expected, WSDOT has closed I-5 from milepost 68 (11 miles south of Chehalis) to milespost 88 (about 20 miles south of Olympia).

It looks like the highway 12 route, eatonville-elbe rout puts you south of the lake.

Here is the map

on the summit at snoqualmie website, they say they plan to have the resort open tomorrow for regular friday schedule. maybe the pass will reopen and that will be the easy route to pasco

I dont think eatonville-elbe route is going to work either?

Im from Olympia, if anyone knows a route that will work let me know..

WSDOT site says;

I-5 - The right two southbound lanes of I-5 near Fife are closed due to water over the roadway. The left northbound lane is also closed. Note: total I-5 closure listed below in Thurston County.

A seven-mile stretch of SR 162 is closed from Orville Road to just outside the town limits of South Prairie (milepost 11 to 17.5).
SR 165 near Church Street in Wilkeson is closed due to flood waters.
Standing water on I-5, SR 16, and SR 512 is creating potentially hazardous conditions for motorists.

SR 410 at Traffic Avenue in Sumner is closed due to water over the roadway.

SR 161 northbound is closed at 317th Street E and SR 161 southbound at 304th Street E due to water over the roadway. No detour available.

SR 7 southbound is closed at Elbe. This is a manned closure, local traffic only south of Elbe on SR 7.

SR 7 northbound is closed at 132nd Street in Spanaway due to water over the roadway. Southbound traffic is able to move through the area. Northbound motorists are being detoured off the roadway at 133rd Street.

if someone finds a clear way down can you post it up here?? thanks

I barely have enough money for the race. I have to save some money to rebuild my motor after the series. well hopefully in the break before lewiston and I still need to get some rims. It is almost better to just get one of these used bikes with the prices

yahoo---Stevens Pass just opened--Traction tires and chains required. At least you can make it over here

Blewett still closed not expected to open for few days- water on roadway and roadways washed out

anyone going for it?
