SEATTLE (AP) - The Washington Transportation Department says Snoqualmie Pass will remain closed through the day until conditions improve.

Interstate 90 has been closed between North Bend and Ellensburg since Tuesday night because of unstable snow, washouts and flooding.

The other major highway passes through the Cascades, Stevens and White passes, also are closed by avalanches and slides.

The department says a number of other highways across Washington are closed by high water.
