Ian Kluft ✅✈️🎈🌋"Juneau might get an Alaska Airlines flight to Portland, without stopping in Seattle" by KTOO (PBS Juneau, Alaska) - At a city council meeting, Alaska's capital city pressed Alaska Airlines for a route from Juneau #JNU / #PAJN to Portland #PDX / #KPDX for alternative connections to the Lower 48 around congestion in Seattle #SEA / #KSEA. https://www.ktoo.org/2026/05/22/juneau-might-get-an-alaska-airlines-flight-to-portland-without-stopping-in-seattle/ #aviation #travel #PNW

What do you do if the start and destination airports are just 5 nautical miles apart?
Of course, you take a little detour over Mount Rainier and watch the sunrise from up there!
But first, you’ve got to get up there …

Portland International KPDX → Seattle–Tacoma International KSEA
A scenic route past the famous and jaw-dropping Mount St. Helens, all while keeping the equally legendary Mt. Rainier constantly in sight.
Time flew by way too fast, because the Lancair Evolution seems to be all about one thing: covering ground quickly.

Spotted at PDX today: Boeing 737 MAX10 prototype #2 N27752 flying as Boeing 102 did a touch&go on Runway 28R at Portland International Airport #KPDX. Boeing test pilots flew it out of Boeing Field #KBFI. They also did touch&gos at Seattle-Tacoma #KSEA and Moses Lake #KMWH before coming to PDX. This is only the 2nd time I've seen a MAX10 in flight, first at PDX (previously at PAE in 2023.) FAA certification of the MAX10 is expected later in 2026. #B3XM #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW
Spent a half hour pushing 3" of very heavy, very wet snow off my car just now
Car sits centered on the ridge line of a 2-story condo, hard up against the north side, so it doesn't get any direct sunshine four months out of the year
If I don't get the snow off today while I can move it and it freezes hard overnight (32-33F degrees forecast) I'll have my car entombed in 3" of Cascade Concrete tomorrow
So...

US 2 is currently closed at MP 55, 9 miles West of the summit and at MP 85, at Coles Corner, 14 miles West of Leavenworth, due to heavy traffic and severe winter weather.
The pass will remain closed overnight and will be reassessed in the morning. No detour is available.
Weather: Snow
And no detour *is* available: Snoqualmie Pass I90 is closed, so Eastern Washington is a trip up the Columbia River gorge out of Portland OR on I84
