Interstate 90 over Snoqualmie Pass closed in both directions

NORTH BEND, Wash. – State transportation officials say Interstate 90 has been closed in both directions over Snoqualmie Pass after multiple collisions and spinouts due to snow and icy conditions.

The Washington Department of Transportation said in a news release that the freeway closed in both directions at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday between milepost 47 and milepost 106 near Ellensburg. Officials reopened the eastbound lanes at 8:15 p.m. but closed them again at 10 p.m.

Officials did not estimate when that section of I-90 would reopen.

Snoqualmie Pass is about 50 miles east of Seattle.
