State Route 410 Fully Closed East Of Enumclaw Due To Slides

ENUMCLAW, WA — Both directions of State Route 410 remained closed east of Enumclaw Friday, due to three slides and continued rainy weather in the area, transportation officials said. According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, roadblocks are in place from Mud Mountain Road to the town of Greenwater.

WSDOT said travel in the area was limited to local access earlier Thursday, but the extended closure bars all traffic between milepost 26 and milepost 49. According to Washington State Patrol, a third slide brought down trees and power lines Friday morning, blocking the road at milepost 38.

Friday afternoon, WSDOT said there was no estimate for when the road would reopen.

Crystal Mountain announced the resort would stay closed through Sunday as crews continued to clear debris from the three slides.

The SR 410 closure joined a growing list of other roads in the area blocked by slides Thursday, including portions of State Route 706, in Ashford, and Fairfax Forest Reserve Road, in Carbonado. WSDOT said State Route 165, between Wilkeson and Carbonado, was closed between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Heavy rains pushed rivers above flood stage throughout Pierce County Thursday, impacting travel in Orting, South Prairie, Puyallup, Sumner, and Bonney Lake. The National Weather Service expected periods of heavy rain to continue into Friday, ahead of another system settling into the region Friday night. Forecasters said a well-deserved dry streak is expected to begin Sunday.
