Plow drivers…Start. Your. Engines! Recently during the calm before the storm, our maintenance techs/winter heroes visited the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe to challenge our unique snowplow obstacle training course. Everyone from rookie drivers to grizzled vets hopped into plow trucks for an adrenaline-pumping task-filled ride with tight turns and tough obstacles designed to test their skills.

Today's weather is no joke. We're seeing heavy rain, standing water, slides, power outages, debris on the roads and heavy snow in the mountains (here's a look at us working on US 2 Stevens Pass, which closed earlier this AM for avalanche control but is now open). Please: ▪️ Do not go around road closed signs ▪️ Give road workers as much room as possible ▪️ Slow down and have your headlights on ▪️ Follow traction requirements on mountain passes ▪️ Be prepared for delays/closures | WSDOT

Snow continues to fall Wednesday morning as you can see in this video in Spokane. Chains are required for all vehicles except AWD/4WD over I-90 Snoqualmie Pass. So far we're seeing drivers do a pretty good job giving our plows room to work. Please keep it up, take it slow, follow traction requirements and be prepared for possible delays or closures. The forecast calls for snow basically through the weekend with a few breaks here and there. | WSDOT

While the sun has been shining this week, up in our passes there’s still some signs of winter. The warmer weather loosened the snow pack on US 2 Stevens Pass Thursday so our avalanche crew did some control work in the afternoon. Quite a bit of snow came down and took awhile to clear. Nice job, team! | WSDOT

It's been a challenging few days, and looks to be that way for at least a few more. We know many of your holiday plans aren't working out - my Christmas Eve plans were canceled due to weather too. But wanted to share at least a bit of holiday joy with this video we made last year. Wishing you all a safe Christmas Eve as we await Santa. | WSDOT

Is it getting steamy in here or is that just the asphalt? 🥵 Come along for a look behind the scenes of a paving glow up on this stretch of I-5 near Olympia in August. It was part of the 82 miles of fresh, sparkly asphalt that crews laid around the South Sound and Kitsap Peninsula this summer. We hope you enjoy a smoother ride. 😎 We were busy aaaaall around the state this summer, to the tune of repairing 1.8 million square feet of pavement around Washington. I’m no mathematician, but that’s a l

It’s all part of our commitment to make sure that dur

A look at some of the conditions and collisions on I-90 Snoqualmie Pass last week. Between Jan. 24-27, we measured 52 inches of new snowfall, including 20 on Jan. 24 alone. While our snowplows work hard to keep the roadway open, that much snow means the roads won't be clear. But many of these collisions could be avoided by slowing down and adhering to restriction requirements like chains. We certainly aren't done with snow in the mountains this season so please be safe and cautious up there! | W

It's that time of year, and our crews are ready! Here's hoping you are too! The National Weather Service says snow could fall at a rate of an inch an hour on the mountain passes at times this weekend - that's a lot! That means of regardless of how much we plow, it's going to be rough. It's vital that drivers are prepared, including having good tires, chains, emergency kit and are prepared for potential delays, which can last for awhile up there. We want everyone to get through this weekend safel

Weather permitting, demolition work will wrap up and westbound lanes will reopen to traffic early next week. Here’s what travelers need to know: - During demolition, westbound traffic will c
