The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) says it's already seeing above-average snowfall on Interstate 90 this year. The department is also saying drivers not following the rules are causing the pass to shut down for everyone. "This year and last year more than in other years we've seen people not obeying the chain-up requirements, thinking they can get over the pass on bald tires or not chaining up, and they're really the ones that kind of close it for everyone," said WSDOT spokesperson Summer Derrey. Derrey says I-90 at the pass has already faced several closures due to driver behavior. Before taking I-90 through the pass, drivers should check conditions and follow all rules in place- for their safety and for that of other drivers. In addition to more drivers failing to chain up when required, WSDOT has also seen above-average snowfall on I-90 so far this season, with winter seeming to hit a bit early near Snoqualmie Pass and accelerated severe weather conditions on roadways. WSDOT says it has had standard staffing for 24/7 coverage on Snoqualmie Pass since Nov. 1.
