    I ran up through Snoqualamie a few times and had to take the WA-18 west into Auburn. It's a two way highway with lots of steep hills and heavy truck and 4 wheel traffic. I seemed a little nerve racking the way I remember...

    Done now and picking up my ticket out of here, but...

    The load was 44,700. I don’t recall any posted grades on the WB side, but it seemed to me like a long 5 percent.

    This time of year I'd much rather run heavy than light. Traction and crosswinds are why.

    Totally agree. Last month I deadheaded I-84 along from Portland to Pasco with some wind gusts. That was NOT fun!

    Steeper than that is my recollection. There is a snowshed you will be entering for a while.
