A rockslide that appears roughly 20 feet tall occurred on Chuckanut Drive, near Pigeon Point and the Oyster Dome trailhead. State Route 11 (SR 11) is completely blocked off in this area as a result.

“There is a fully blocking rockslide on State Route 11 near milepost 10,” Washington State Patrol (WSP) Trooper Kelsey Harding posted on X. “Troopers on scene are reporting that it is greater than 20 feet high and there are large boulders. Please seek alternate routes while WSDOT works to clear the roadway.

Here are some photos of the SR 11 rockslide. Also the rockslide did not reach or impact the train route. @wsdot_north @BNSFRailway pic.twitter.com/HDNJXBcZql
