From WSDOT - Let the summer cross state traffic begin!









Ring the bells and honk the horns, the SR 20 North Cascades Highway will reopen after its winter hibernation at 1 p.m. Wednesday, May 5! Our crews are finishing final repairs and avalanche control work before we open the gates east of Newhalem and west of Mazama. It took them a little over four weeks to clear the highway, which closes every winter due to avalanche danger and heavy snowfall. We know traditionally people like to gather at the closure gates to be among the first to drive one of our most scenic highways. If you plan to be among them, please follow safety guidelines including wearing a mask when among people outside your immediate family and avoiding gathering in large groups. We want everyone to enjoy the gates opening safely. And we extend a HUGE thanks to our crews who put in so much work to open up this important connection between the Skagit and Methow valleys.

Chinook Pass not quite ready.

Those are the outhouse stacks in the middle.

Love that roller in the light upper left.

Closer than you think on the East side. West side has some mileage to cover.

365 Things to do in Washington State

#135 - Look for stunning Mt. Adams, one of three volcanoes located in Washington's southern volcano country region. Rising above the foothills, Mount Adams stands tall as the 2nd highest mountain in Washington and is visible from many parts of Klickitat County. On a clear day, you can see four mountains (Hood, Adams, Saint Helens, and Rainier) from Goldendale on Hwy-97. (Photo via Mt Adams Chamber & Visitor Center)

No, just an ordinary Lopez resident.

We stopped in Walla Walla a week or so ago while on a very rambling road trip. I'd researched it a few years back for a potential job and wanted to see it in person.

It was really nice. My wife actually loved it. We walked around the downtown a bit then had lunch at Yamas. It was a nice stop.

It's a nice town. I am not at all unhappy with my decision to move here.

[yeahman]

A few from our first day on Whidbey. It is remarkable to me how little the place has changed since we moved away 13 years ago. Not in order: Fort Ebey bluff and WW2 bunkers, Captain Whidbey Inn hamock overlooking Penn Cove, Libbey Road neighborhood beach access. Spent an hour throwing rocks.

And one more for good PNW beer.
