sr 20

Two Sedro-Woolley women were hurt in an early Sunday SR 20 crash in Okanogan County. Troopers suspect DUI after the vehicle left the road and hit trees.

Significant rain on Sunday caused a mudslide inside the current 11 mile stretch of the roadway that's shut down because of the Easy Fire.

Troopers say a pickup truck driven by 77-year-old Terry Thompson of Danville attempted to pass in a no passing zone in a corner.

The Washington Department of Transportation initially announced the road would remain closed until at least Wednesday but reversed course.

The Department of Transportation reports a tanker truck carrying propane broke through a guardrail and went down an embankment at about 10am Friday.

The Highway has been closed since the fire began in late July because of hazards presented by the fire.

The fire is burning 1,440 acres just south of State Route 20 North Cascades Hwy., which has led to the roadway being indefinitely closed.

The North Cascades Highway is now only days away from reopening for the season. The 44-mile stretch of State Route 20 closes annually during the winter months from the Ross Dam Trailhead to Early Winters due to heavy snow and persistent avalanche risks...

The east side clearing crew reached the summit of Washington Pass this week and is heading into the home stretch of its work.
