…The Northwest Avalanche Center in Seattle has issued an Avalanche

weak snowpack. Very large natural avalanches may occur and could
descend into lower elevation forested areas.

* WHERE…Areas near Mt Hood, Stevens Pass, Snoqualmie Pass, and the
west slopes of the Cascades from I-90 to the Columbia River,
including Crystal Mountain, Mt Rainier, White Pass, Mt Saint
Helens, and Mt Adams. As well as the East slopes of the Cascades
from the Canadian border to Lake Chelan, including Washington
Pass, Methow Valley, and Twisp areas.
