A reminder that Village of Lights festivities means more traffic to US 2 in and around Leavenworth this weekend. If you're traveling in the area be sure to add a little time to your trip, stay alert and be sure to drive for conditions.

Heads up: US 97 is closed north of Orondo and US 97A is closed north of Knapps Tunnel due to separate collisions with no estimated time to reopen. Access between Chelan and Wenatchee is available on SR 971/Navarre Coulee to US 97A south of Knapps. Please be patient.

US 97 is closed in both directions at milepost 219, four miles north of Orondo, due to a collision. There is no detour available and no estimated time of reopening. Motorists traveling between Wenatchee and Chelan should use US 97A on the west side of the Columbia River.

That's a wrap! US 97 Blewett Pass has reopened as of 3:30PM today. The weather was perfect for the work and crews were able to remove dozens of burned trees and debris in burn scar areas. Thank you for your patience!

Snow is falling once again around the Inland Northwest. Please make sure to give our crews plenty of space to treat and clear roads and slow down to drive for conditions.

It's finally here: the seasonal closure of SR 20 North Cascades Highway is scheduled for Thurs. (12/4). Our crews will swing the gates closed at Ross Dam trailhead (MP 134) and Silver Star gate (MP 171) at 6PM. Please plan accordingly and we'll see you in the spring. @wspd6pio

US 97 Blewett Pass (milepost 149-177) will be closed Thursday (12/4) from 8AM-4PM to remove debris in the burn scar north of the summit. Closing the road means our crews can expedite clean up in multiple locations to get this important work done before winter settles in.

We've got our FIRST Big Leplowski sighting of the year!!! Currently treating roads headed east on I-90 near the Pines/SR 27 interchange in Spokane Valley.

Yes, plow is up, but yes they are treating both lanes of the roadway. Please give our crews space this evening.
December 1, 2025 at 11:43 PM
It feels appropriate that we have snow in the forecast on this first day of December. Please remember to give our snowplows plenty of space. Slow down, give yourself room to stop, and remember to be patient and allow extra travel time. Be safe!
December 1, 2025 at 6:59 PM
Village of Lights season is here, bringing to the city of Leavenworth half a million twinkling lights, holiday festivities...and traffic! Don't get spooked and add extra time for your trip if you're traveling on US 2 between Stevens Pass and Wenatchee this weekend.
November 28, 2025 at 5:48 PM
Good Wednesday morning! Plows are out treating and clearing. Please give them plenty of space this morning.

With snow on the words, slow down, use caution and drive for conditions.
November 26, 2025 at 3:51 PM
With snow in the forecast starting late tomorrow, we'd like to remind drivers 'tis the season you'll be sharing the road with our snowplows. A few tips to keep you & our drivers safe:

- Don't assume they can see you
- Increase following distance
-Avoid blind spots
- Drive slowly

HEADS UP! A fatality collision is blocking SR 26 between Washtucna and SR 21. WB travel can detour via SR 261/260 in Washtucna. EB travel can detour via SR 21. @pullman.wsu.edu

Some things don’t make sense. Speeding is one of them.

Drive safe this Thanksgiving break, Cougs. #BeSafeCougs @pullman.wsu.edu
