Seattle Police Search for Suspect in Beacon Hill Hit-and-Run that Killed Bicyclist

After nearly three weeks closed by storms, pilot-car controls guide traffic through an 8-mile active work zone while full reopening is expected by Sunday, WSDOT said.

  • On Monday, U.S. Highway 2 reopened from the east to Stevens Pass, allowing skiers access with a pilot car escorting vehicles the final seven miles from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
  • After mud and debris hit the corridor, officials closed sections of U.S. Highway 2 , with officials warning on Dec. 16 that the closure could last months due to damage.
  • For west-side visitors, the only approach forces long detours using the Chumstick Highway to Beaver Valley Road detour, turning a typical 90-minute Seattle trip into nearly four hours.
  • King County plans a $3.5 million temporary bridge this spring as local businesses and employees in Skykomish and Leavenworth face steep revenue drops, affecting about 85 homes.
  • State officials say the full Skykomish–Stevens Pass segment should open by Sunday, January 4, with 24/7 reopening between mileposts 50 and 64 but nightly closures at Stevens Pass and pilot-car controls for about a month.
