KITTITAS COUNTY, WA: "Officials from Kittitas County Wednesday expressed displeasure with the Washington State Department of Transportation for refusing their help removing snow due to the county's lack of COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Last week's freak winter storm resulted in the closure of Snoqualmie Pass for over 90 hours. Travel through the area was impossible, leading to supply chain issues east of the cascades. Kittitas County had an agreement with WSDOT, which they say WSDOT requested after they had to let unvaccinated employees go. According to the press release, firings from the mandate left Kittitas County with 48 less workers to help clear snow from state roads in the county. Kittitas County Department of Public Works extended a hand to WSDOT on Tuesday, offering to help clear state roads. An offer they say WSDOT refused, based on the county's non-existent vaccine mandate for county workers."
