Snoqualmie Pass has reopened after several different crashes closed both East and Westbound lanes Thursday, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.
At about 3:46 p.m., WSDOT sent an alert they were closing eastbound Interstate 90 to traffic due to the snow and slush.
UPDATE: We are now closed WB at MP 71 near Easton. We are also still closed EB at MP 47 just west of the summit. No estimate for a reopening at this time.
