Higher astronomical tides are coming this week, namely Wednesday & Thursday. The highest tides will be focused along the outer coast. Additional storm systems moving in can compound coastal flooding from the tides. Stay tuned to the forecast for updates. #wawx

SR 9 remains CLOSED between SR 20 & W State St in Sedro-Woolley after a @BNSFRailway signal box was damaged in a crash. The box is a key safety feature for the rail crossing, so the intersection will stay closed until repairs are made⚠️ More: https://t.co/jZtrJJeMT5

Labu-BOO! Remember that the scariest thing on the road tonight should be a child dressed as a pop culture reference you’re too old to understand. Be extra cautious driving today, and keep an eye out for trick-or-treaters. Happy Halloween!

UPDATE #4: WB I-90 has REOPENED near Cle Elum following the removal of the damaged Bullfrog Road overpass. Crews worked nonstop overnight so we could reopen I-90 earlier than expected. Our bridge engineers are designing a new WB overpass. We'll keep you posted on next steps!
UPDATE #3: WSDOT and contractor crews made great progress overnight, removing the damaged westbound Bullfrog Road overpass. With the span now removed, crews are clearing debris from the demolition site. Target is still to reopen the westbound lanes by early next week.

There will be snow on SR 20 North Cascades Highway this weekend. Crews are prepared, are you? Tires, warm coat, full tank of gas, charged cell, heads lights on and-most of all- driving for conditions. Slower is better than a spin out. On the road we're in it together. @wspd6pio

🚧SR 18 NOW OPEN! Good morning traffic fam! We have 2 miles of shiny new highway to share with you today. The notorious pinch point that kept the SR 18 Diverging Diamond from fully shining is now gone. Better traffic flow? ✅ Shorter wait times? ✅ Better days ahead? You betcha.
