1. That's major!

I used to travel that route a couple times a week, for years, never saw a stretch that long shut down. I've been stopped at North Bend and Ellensburg a few times but never seen it closed all the way between the two.

2. That's unusual

I have driven that stretch for 25 years and this is as bad as I have seen it.
