PACKWOOD – WSDOT has cleared multiple mudslides on US 12 between Packwood in Lewis County (mile post 131) and Naches (mile post 189) in Yakima County. WSDOT is allowing local traffic only to travel in both directions within this previously closed area.  

US 12 is not a viable east-west route at this time due to flooding at Randle (mile post 116) and a large washout near Glenoma (mile post 108) There is currently no access to a viable detour via US 12. To avoid trucks stacking up where there is limited parking, WSDOT is holding westbound commercial vehicles at Naches.

WSDOT has established a county by county list of road closures at http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/News/Update/
