It’s snowplow szn! When the snow returns to the mountain passes and lowlands, so do these rigs. Our crews work around the clock during winter storms to keep roads clear and open, so please do your part by driving for conditions, giving them space, and only passing when they pull over to let you around. Don’t pass or crowd the plows! The billowing snow and plow blades give them limited peripheral visibility, and they might not see you in those blind spots. Stay safe out there, everyone! | WSDOT

Plow drivers…Start. Your. Engines! Recently during the calm before the storm, our maintenance techs/winter heroes visited the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe to challenge our unique snowplow obstacle training course. Everyone from rookie drivers to grizzled vets hopped into plow trucks for an adrenaline-pumping task-filled ride with tight turns and tough obstacles designed to test their skills.

With snow a big topic across the state this week, we're rolling out a series of videos throughout Thursday to talk about safety around snow plows. We hope it gives people a useful and interesting perspective of what things look like from the perspective of the cabin of a plow. Part One is about passing snow plows and some of the challenges our drivers have to see you, so please be sure to give them room. | WSDOT

Even though it is early in the season, our snow plows are already hard at work up on Stevens Pass and throughout the state at our high elevation mountain passes. Don't forget if it’s snowing, and you see a plow to give them plenty of space to clear the roadway and don't pass a plow in the direction that they are pushing snow. Don't forget we are looking for temporary winter hires with CDL. Visit wsdotjobs.com for more details. | WSDOT
