A significant road repair project on westbound I-90, initiated by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), is expected to cause traffic delays for Snoqualmie drivers starting in mid-September. The work focuses on a rough stretch of freeway east of Issaquah, with the aim of improving safety and driving conditions for commuters.
