Interstate 90 shut down east of Issaquah

TRANSPORTATION WARNING/ADVISORY -- EASTBOUND INTERSTATE 90 IS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN EAST OF FRONT STREET IN ISSAQUAH DUE TO EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS ROAD CONDITIONS.

UPDATE: One lane has reopened, but avoid this highway at all costs. Also note that WSDOT is closing I-90 in both directions at Snoqualmie Pass tomorrow morning:
State transportation officials plan to close Interstate 90 at Snoqualmie Pass for about one hour starting at 9 a.m. for avalanche control work Monday.

Technicians will set off explosives above the east snow shed to bring down about 12 inches of snow that accumulated in the past 24 hours.

Traffic will be stopped until about 10 a.m. in the eastbound direction at Gold Creek (milepost 56) and westbound at Price Creek (milepost 61).
You have been warned.
