With the snow and then the flooding, the major interstate highways, I-5, and I-90 had been closed recently, but they're back open now.

It's kind of crazy how often the interstate is closed around here. I-90 is often closed at Snoqualmie Pass, where it passes over the Cascade Mountains. There can be heavy amounts of snow there and sometimes avalanches that close the roadway. It's hard to believe that sometimes people are physically cut off from the eastern part of the state by land. Of course these closures have no impact on us, since we have no need to go outside the city, but it's amazing the impact that the weather has on the transportation infrastructure.
