I90 Still Closed at Vantage Due to Brush Fire
The Seattle Times is reporting this morning that Interstate 90 remains closed in both directions near George, WA due to a 700-acre brush fire.
Kyle Foreman, an information officer for the Grant County Sheriff’s Department, said firefighters are working on I-90 to contain the fire and conditions are extremely dusty with little visibility, making the freeway unsafe for drivers.
It’s unknown when I90 will re-open. It's closed from the east end of the Vantage bridge, milepost 138. to milepost to 155. Drivers are being detoured around the closed area on Adams Road.
