Multiple crashes have caused I-90 to be shut down in both directions west of the Snoqualmie Pass summit.

According to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), multiple car crashes are blocking the highway. The closure spans from milepost 47 to milepost 71 near Easton.

“Winter decided to show up a little later than expected,” WSDOT posted on X. “Unfortunately, that may have caught drivers off guard.”

There is no estimate yet of when I-90 at Snoqualmie Pass will reopen, as of this reporting.
