• Emergency work on SR 410 begins; Crystal Mountain opens with limited operations (courierherald.com) — Emergency repairs on SR 410 are underway, but it’s still unclear when full access between Enumclaw and Greenwater — and to Crystal Mountain — will return, or how bad traffic delays will get. Greenwater residents relied on Enumclaw convoys for supplies, and Crystal Mountain has capped parking while the Enumclaw shuttle is suspended, so local businesses may feel a winter tourism squeeze.
