SEATTLE More than a foot of snow has fallen at Snoqualmie Pass since Tuesday night the opening salvo in series of storms that promise to bring even more heavy snow events to the mountains over the next week.
The eastbound lanes of I-90 at Snoqualmie Pass were closed for much of the morning Wednesday due to several spinous close to the summit before reopening at noon. The closure culprit? Trucks that did not chain up, WSDOT officials tweeted. The hill on eastbound I-90 is very steep which is why it is very important to chain up when required or consider chaining up even if you have AWD/4WD.
For waterfront indulgence, you can’t beat the Inn at Langley. Each of the 28 rooms offers a peek at the Saratoga Passage, the part of Puget Sound that separates Whidbey and Camano Islands, and within minutes you can be standing on the strip of pebbly beach that fronts the inn. (It also takes seconds to stroll into town.) All rooms include fireplaces and balconies and welcome your canine friend.
Deception Pass Cabins From $55/night, goingtocamp.com
Want a deeper connection with nature? Book a few nights at one of the eight cabins in Deception Pass State Park. The fully equipped Ben Ure Cabin, located on an island only accessible by kayak or rowboat (so pack light!), is a local favorite. The other seven cabins are a mix of glamping and more traditional (two even have bathrooms with showers).
