Snow, crashes snarl traffic on I-90 Snoqualmie Pass - FOX 13 Seattle
I-90 Snoqualmie Pass traffic is being affected by multiple crashes caused by snow and slush on the roadway.
www.fox13seattle.comI don’t have live updates right now, but here’s the latest context on Snoqualmie Pass from reputable local outlets I can reference.
- In mid-March 2026, heavy snow and icy conditions prompted closures on I-90 Snoqualmie Pass, with reports of overnight and multi-hour closures due to spinouts and crashes. Drivers were urged to postpone nonessential travel and prepare for difficult conditions [source coverage from Seattle-area stations in March 2026].
- There have been intermittent reopenings after snow events, with updates noting when lanes are fully opened in both directions and when chain requirements apply, consistent with Washington State Department of Transportation advisories during winter storms [source coverage throughout 2025–2026].
- Additional reports highlight the Cascades weather pattern causing blizzards and treacherous road surfaces, leading to temporary closures and longer travel times during active storms [FOX Seattle/KOMO coverage in 2026].
