From the Skagit Valley Herald (about 50 miles due South of here):
Avalanche blocks Highway 20
An avalanche between Newhalem and Diablo is blocking Highway 20 and will not be cleared until next week.
The avalanche is believed to have happened late Thursday night or early Friday morning, state Department of Transportation spokeswoman Andrea Petrich said.
Some gorgeous country - Diablo is a company town owned by Seattle City Light - it is where the people who work on the hydro dams live. Highway 20 is shut down at the pass but this avalanche complicates things for people living in the area.
