White Pass carries US-12 over the Cascade Range at 4,500 ft. Here's what to watch, and when it bites.
WSDOT often requires traction tires or chains at the summit in storms, and US-12 can close for avalanche control or collisions. Chinook and Cayuse passes to the north close for the winter, so White Pass is the only open crossing south of Snoqualmie near Rainier.
The ski area is right at the summit, so winter weekends bring Yakima and Tri-Cities traffic to the top of the pass. Rainier is in view from the top. See Is Rainier out?
The live map above shows closures and incidents on US-12 near the summit, from WSDOT. See Chinook Pass for the winter closure to the north.
WSDOT sets traction and chain requirements at the summit and posts them on signs and its pass report.
The summit is about 4,500 feet on US-12. Compare Stevens and Snoqualmie.
