    RT @SnoqualmiePass: Snow in the forecast? That's right. We may get our first touch of winter in the mountain passes this week. This is a great reminder to make sure you have a good set of traction tires and know what the conditions are like before you go.

    RT @WSDOT_East: Finishing what what we started. A little more than a year ago, this section of the North Spokane Corridor that extends from Alki to Sprague didn't exist. In one week, we will set the final girders for this project. We've even poured quite a bit of concrete on the bridge deck.

    RT @Amtrak_Cascades: As noted, the schedule of test runs can change. Today's did. The test ended at Vancouver, WA, and is making the return trip from there. Because the schedule is off, there are no times to share for the northbound run. Catch it in the wild if you can.

    Thursdays offer more chances to see the new Amtrak Cascades train. Departs Seattle 6:20 am-Arrives in Portland 9:42 am. Departs Portland 10:50 am and reaches Seattle near 3 pm. These are training runs so the test schedule is subject to change. Photo courtesy of Nathan Bofto.
