Several car crashes forced the closure of I-90 near North Bend late Thursday, but it has since reopened.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) said it had to close eastbound lanes after several car crashes. Just a half hour later they announced both directions of the freeway are closed.

The mountain passes got their first major snow of the season. Officials forecast up to six inches of snow on Snoqualmie Thursday night.
