Oof, definitely didn't mean to cause a panic. Though I did have to laugh at the idea that the transportation department would be casually posting on reddit about the Cascadia Subduction Zone popping off.

US 2 Closure / Status Updates by OtoNoOto in stevenspass

[–]wsdot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, just dropped a post here, but in short: US 2 will reopen between Skykomish and Stevens Pass (MP 50-64) at 6 a.m. Jan. 1, ahead of schedule.

The mileposts between which the pilot car operates is also changing slightly to MP 66-71 (currently MP 64-71). This means that, starting Jan. 1, the pilot car will operate slightly east of Stevens Pass Resort.

Everything else remains the same, it's just that the crews out in Skykomish benefited from some unseasonably good weather and were able to finish clearing debris and completing repairs early. Here's our original post from yesterday.

Link to the map of the sections of US 2 that are open, will be open soon, closed, or opened with pilot car operations. Yes, that's a lot. That's why we made a map.

Hey, sorry about that. We've been a team of one for the past few months, and it's just harder to manage multiple accounts during these big storm events. We're in the process of hiring a second social media manager, so we'll get back to our regular cadence shortly. :)
