Numerous readers were alarmed at yesterday's article about Leavenworth "Christmastown" being inaccessible from the normal route across HIghway 2 and Stevens Pass.
Even though Hwy 2 is currently closed, they are still accessible via Hwy 97 Blewett Pass and I-90. It takes about an hour longer.
Be sure to check WSDOT's Real-Time Map before you leave. My in box has been full of notices about the passes closing and opening as landslides and tree falls block the highways and get cleared and get blocked again.
Traction tires are recommended, according to the Pass reports and weather reports predict heavy snow in the mountains.
