How Many Areas Will Not Be Accessible Due To Storm

[Ice Cap]

With all that water I am thinking that lots of roads and bridges washed out.
How about we post information on here as it becomes available.

I am betting that the Salmon La Sac area may be done for the season due to no access!

What happened at the Sac?

 

[Ice Cap]

The road is closed at the Last Resort but I don't know any details.
I just figure the Cle Elum river was probably smoking right along and most likely washed part of the road out

 

[winter brew]

Or maybe slides along the lake???

We will just have to find away in over the ridge line from the last resort--Looking at Cle Elum Sledheads pictures--teanaway may be out as well to get in.

I am thinking it is going to be real ugly up in the hills and even worse in the valleys--there are some scarey pictures out there.

Great idea Ice Cap

I also heard that Cabin Creek Rd washed out

Just got word that Hwy 20 (north cascades hwy) is closed at Lyman due to mudslides and water over the hwy in several places.

Also, the Baker Lake Rd is closed about 5 miles in.

Oh well, no Baker tomorrow!!

Here is some of the bad news folks. Posted in the flood thread.

These first 4 picture links were taken by my neighbor a few miles east of Cle Elum along hwy 970/Teanaway River. Not good at all. My guess is that the Teanaway valley further up river is in real bad shape too, but I do not have any pictures of that area. There is no way at the moment to get to the east sides of the mountains from the west side without going through Canada.

Pictures taken by my neighbor.

Do you think this will wipe out our snow park clearing funds?

WSDOT site says the 903 is down to one lane near Roslyn, but no closure. Anybody heard different?

Winter,

I think the Sac...maybe a little wet. PB

Exit 62- Kachess & stampede

There are signs off the freeway that say water over highway (about 8-12" of water) and Kachess Lake road had water coming up through the center of the road in 3 places, but the county cleaned it up. Im sure the holes will be there a while, but definitly passable. Currently snowing! Just need more fresh cold snow! (2500 ft)
