In 2011 WA20 did not open till 5-25, but this year's 5-08 is more typical. WSDOT starts clearing it toward the end of March, and tracks the progress on their website. WSDOT on Flickr has an album of the annual clearing. Last summer it was also closed a couple of times due to mud slides produced by thunder storms.
I was camped at Colonial Creek NP during one of those summer closures. The increase in traffic noise was noticeable with the highway reopened.
