SEATTLE - Transportation authorities have made the call to close the North Cascades Highway for the weekend due to snow forecasts.
WSDOT announced Friday morning the highway would shut down at 5 p.m. and stay closed until at least Monday, November 18. Reopening will depend on the findings from their avalanche and maintenance teams in a couple days.
The temporary closure will stretch from milepost 134-171 of State Route 20 in southeastern Whatcom County, northern Chelan County, and western Okanogan County.
