NORTH BEND, Wash. — Interstate 90 has reopened in both directions between North Bend and Ellensburg, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.
WSDOT tweeted just after 9 a.m. that the road had reopened with chains required on all vehicles except those with all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
The road had been closed due to dangerous conditions caused by freezing rain.
Snoqualmie Pass is open with chains required on AWD/4WD. US 2 Stevens Pass will stay closed today, still not safe (my friend @WSDOT_East just tweeted about it with pics). Huge thanks to the crews working on these issues! Please everyone be safe! https://t.co/ssZFp7pvmT

US 2 remains closed from milepost 42 over Stevens Pass to milepost 99. WSDOT said that road will stay closed all day Sunday.
⛔️US 2 Stevens Pass will remain closed today. The road is a sheet of ice. The crew member who sent pics says a car cannot drive it, they used a sno cat to go in to evaluate. Please do not attempt to go around closure points. @wspd6pio pic.twitter.com/otVohRqOEK
