One westbound lane open on I-90 at milepost 65 near Easton. A 10-mile backup had formed after a multi-car crash.

ORIGINAL:

A multi-vehicle collision has all westbound lanes blocked on I-90 at milepost 65, near Easton.

This is the third collision near Easton in as many days.

Snoqualmie Pass authorities said traffic has been shifted in this area as part of the major improvement project to widen I-90 from four to six lanes. “The speed is reduced in this section, but drivers are still going too fast and not paying attention to the road. This shift has been in place since last fall.”

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
