The Washington State Department of Transportation is tasked with taking care of Tumwater Canyon just west of Leavenworth. They do a darn good job too. This area typically gets a lot of snow and there isn't a lot of room to get rid of it all in the canyon.
Snow plows are a regular sight inside Tumwater Canyon. Busting g out heavier equipment like snowblowers and road graders is sometimes necessary though.
A much deserved tip of the hat to the crews that takes care of this beautiful, popular, important, and sometimes dangerous section of road.
