Landslide on I-90 Shuts Down Lanes Near North Bend
The eastbound I-90 closure near North Bend is indefinite with no detour, amid multiple mudslides and flooding across western Washington, officials said.
- On December 10, eastbound I-90 near North Bend, Wash. was fully blocked by a mudslide amid historic flooding, WSDOT reported.
- Historic flooding from an atmospheric river produced the landslide, triggering multiple road closures and evacuations across western Washington.
- The freeway is closed between Winery Road and 436th Avenue Southeast, with about 5 miles of I-90 shut between milepost 27 and 2 as crews plan a geotechnical assessment and debris removal.
- Traffic backups forced drivers off the interstate and strained local routes; one woman was hospitalized with minor injuries while six drivers ran out of gas, WSP reported.
- Officials say the closure is expected to be extended while geological work continues, Amtrak Cascades suspended Seattle–Vancouver runs Thursday and Friday, and drivers should check WSDOT real-time travel map.
