Mon., Dec. 14, 2015
SNOQUALMIE, Wash. – A winter storm pounding Snoqualmie Pass triggered a landslide that forced the closure of Interstate 90 eastbound.
Washington transportation officials say multiple trees and rocks came down onto the roadway early Monday during a severe snow storm.
Officials planned to assess the stability of the slopes above the road before allowing the pass to reopen for eastbound traffic.
