Are you renting a car? Need a set of chains - and know how to put them on. More likely for HR than anywhere else though. Expect wet roads. If it snows, not that common after all, expect roads (be it US-2 or I-90) to close down until cleared. Chains will be required going up and over the pass. Go slowly.

I will be renting a car since I'm flying in, and I know how to put chains on since I've used them in the Northeast before--will likely need to buy a fresh set when I arrive in Seattle since I can guarantee you the tires on my rental car will be larger than the ones on my own car unless chains are a one size fits all kinda deal? My car has extremely small tires that are basically rubber bands on rims because I'm too stubborn to give up my civic SI even though that thing is NOT designed for winter driving hahahah

You can buy chains at Les Schwab, and if unused, you can return them for a full refund. Not that uncommon. In over 24 years here, only used chains once.

More than welcome. As for distances, Hurricane Ridge is only 60 miles from Seattle (+ferry ride), and Steven’s Pass, about 55. Snoqualmie Pass less than 50, so you’re not going to experience any massive distances.

Yea of course, my bad 🤷‍♂️. Sorry. HR 100+ miles from Settle and Steven’s about 70 miles. Still easily go from HR to Steven’s in a long morning.
