SEATTLE (AP) — Rain, snow and flooding continued to cause problems in parts of Washington and Oregon, with several major roadways closed.

About 12,000 Puget Sound Energy customers remained without power Wednesday and many schools stayed closed for the third day this week. Interstate 90 was closed for a second day across Snoqualmie Pass because of avalanche danger, leaving tractor-trailers to park and wait.

Transportation officials said Wednesday that the interstate’s eastbound lanes across the pass would reopen at 4 p.m. and that officials would be allowing groups through by meter.

The National Weather Service issued a flood advisory for areas including Port Angeles, Olympia, Seattle and Everett, warning that excessive runoff from melting snow could cause flooding of creeks, streams, highways streets and underpasses.

They’re also continuing to alert Western Washington residents about a heightened threat of landslides, tree damage, power outages and roofs collapsing.
