Truckers Wait Out Pass Closure
Truck stop in Union Gap
Truckers waiting for Snoqualmie Pass to reopen, cooled their heels at a Union Gap truck stop this morning.
A truck stop in Ellensburg was already full of truckers waiting out the storm. One truck driver says the wait costs him money, but he's passing the time watching movies and reading books.
Another considered taking I-84 through Portland to reach I-5, but decided it would be easier to wait.
"You're looking at probably 100, 200 miles further than, maybe even further than that," says trucker Rhody Robinson.
"You know I'm not making any money sitting here, so it's not a good thing," says trucker Rick Walsh.
Another truck stop in Ellensburg says their parking lot is clearing out slowly now that Snoqualmie Pass is open.
