This just in from WSDOT re the clearing of Hwy 20 through the North Cascades:
The highway is cleared, guardrail to guardrail [from Early Winters on the east] all the way to Blue Lake (between Washington and Rainy Passes). About 1:30 this afternoon, a slide came in down Liberty Bell chute #3 and dumped 8 to 10 feet of snow across both lanes. Needless to say, the avalanche crew is heading back to Stevens Pass - they'll be at Liberty Bell on Monday, so the maintenance crew can clear it again (and the rest of the new snow on the highway.)
WSDOT has a
Flickr photostream so you can watch your tax dollars at work and get some glimpses of the scenery. Here's a sample:
