A driver- and neighbour-reported board of where US-2 is blocked right now — Tumwater Canyon, Stevens Pass and the valley — with the official WSDOT line and the detour routes.
Town Tools builds free, public tools for Leavenworth and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
Leavenworth has one direct way over the mountains to the Seattle side: US-2 through Tumwater Canyon. Avalanche control, rockfall and flooding can close it with little warning — in December 2025 a washout shut the canyon for about two months. When the canyon is blocked, cars can usually still get to Wenatchee and the valley by the Chumstick Highway (SR 209); the long way around is US-97 over Blewett Pass.
This board lets drivers and neighbours mark the stretch where they are seeing a problem, so the next person can check before setting out. It shows what people on the road are reporting, not an official status — always confirm with WSDOT before you travel, and call 911 in an emergency.
No road blockages reported right now.
