Stay away from Western Washington if you're headed to BC

It's on all the news channels, but just to reinforce: if you are headed to B.C., DO NOT plan on doing so via I-5 in Western Washington. As of 7pm last night, all lanes of I-5 are lying at the bottom ...

I wouldn't cancel camping plans. Use Hwy 99 - it will have delays but it's better than not going at all IMO.



Em, 99 doesn't go through. SR-9 does, as does a couple other roads. There are detours in place. Traffic is not bad today, but I expect it will get worse next week as everyone tries to get through (several schools and businesses have told their people to not try get through, that will change next wee)


Thanks for the correction as it could have been very confusing. I meant Hwy 9!
