Travel Alert for Washington State

Remember that the weather can change drastically between different parts of Washington State.

You need to still be prepared for snow if you are traveling across the state, especially the mountain passes.

Hopefully, you still have your winter traction tires installed. If you took them off already, I would stay home unless you can catch a window of time with no restrictions.

Make sure you have chains in your car before you leave if you're not in an all-wheel drive car. You can get a ticket if you don't have them at least packed in your trunk.
