Snoqualmie Pass open, White Pass closes again in Washington

NORTH BEND, Wash. (AP) — The main east-west highway in Washington state reopened over the mountain passes after being closed for almost four days due to a winter storm that made travel too dangerous. Interstate 90 over Snoqualmie Pass reopened Sunday evening. The vital transportation route that connects Seattle with Spokane was made passable again after crews worked for days to clear fallen trees, debris and snow. White Pass reopened Monday only to close again because of a rockslide and unstable slopes. Flooding concerns continued in southwest Washington Monday. Southwest Washington has experienced its worst flooding in a decade, the National Weather Service said. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee issued an emergency proclamation Friday.
