Snowplow near Stevens Pass, circa 1925
Order an ImageStevens Pass, Washington, usually gets about 400 to 500 inches of snow each winter, although it snowed 800 inches during the winter of 1996-97. Road crews and railroad workers have had to work continually to keep the ways clear. This Lee Pickett photo, probably taken during the 1920s, shows a Great Northern Railway Snow King rotary snowplow at Scenic, near Stevens Pass at the summit of the Cascade Mountains. The pointed front end of the electrically-powered car pushes the snow aside and the large fans on either side blow it away.
