Chains & Pass Closures
Are the mountain passes out of town open, and are chains required right now — the official WSDOT report for Stevens, Blewett and Snoqualmie.
Snow on the Passes

Is the River Running?
The live Wenatchee flow against published whitewater bands, the float season, and how to stay safe on cold water.
When to Visit (and Where to Park)
When Leavenworth is calm and when it's packed, the festival weekends to plan around, and the free shuttle when downtown fills.

What permit (if any) you need for the Enchantments right now, the zones and group limits, and the current trailhead-access situation — with the official Recreation.gov and Forest Service links.
