The National Weather Service said nearly 2 inches of rain fell at Portland International Airport on Thursday, shattering the old mark of just over an inch set back in the 1970s. Records for Dec. 17 were also swept away in Salem, Eugene and other cities in Oregon and southwest Washington. Heavy rains in Oregon tailed off on Friday morning. But heavy snow fell on mountain passes in the Washington Cascades. Classes were canceled or delayed at schools across Eastern Washington because Friday snow made driving treacherous. As of 5 a.m., 18 inches of snow had fallen on Snoqualmie Pass, 16 inches on Stevens Pass and 11 inches on White Pass. Another 4 to 8 inches of snow was expected later in the day. Eastbound Interstate 90 was closed 14 miles east of North Bend Friday morning to allow of¿cials to clear out a bunch of spun-out vehicles on Snoqualmie Pass. It wasn’t all bad news. The Alpental and Summit Central ski areas on Snoqualmie Pass were both open on Friday. The National Weather Service in Seattle said moun- tain snow and rain in lower elevations would continue into next week. “Mostly dry weather is possible by Christmas Day,” the agency said. In Spokane, the National Weather Service predicted temperatures in the 40s would melt some of the new snow on Friday after- noon. But more snow was predicted on Sunday and into next week. Warm Springs tribe approves pot sales project business. Tribal of¿cials said more than 80 percent of tribal voters favored the proposal. 1,450 of the 3,300 eligible voters turned out for the referendum Thursday. Warm Springs’ plan is to build a 36,000-square- foot greenhouse to grow and process the cannabis. Of¿cials expect the project will create more than 80 jobs. Net revenue from the three proposed tribal-owned retail would top $26 million annually. The tribes say they will enter into an agreement with state agencies to ensure testing and other regulations are consistent with state law. Sales are slated to start in winter 2016. “Our main purpose is to create jobs on the reservation and produce revenue for the tribes,” said Don Sampson, of the tribes’ economic development corporation. “We think we will have a model other tribes will look to as they investigate this business and industry.” W pc pc pc c c pc pc s c c s s s s s sf c r c sf pc r c s s pc Weather (W): s-sunny, pc-partly cloudy, c-cloudy, sh-showers, t-thunderstorms, r-rain, sf-snow flurries, sn-snow, i-ice.

The vote comes a year after a U.S. Department of Justice policy indicated tribes could grow and sell pot under the same guidelines as states that opt to legalize.

(AP) — Fresh storms barreled through the already sodden Paci¿c Northwest on Friday, triggering a landslide that killed a woman near the Oregon Coast and clogging mountain passes in the Washington Cascades. In Oregon, Siuslaw Valley Fire Chief Jim Langborg said a man, woman and two dogs were inside a Mercer Lake home, about 3 miles north of Florence, that was destroyed in the landslide early Friday morning. The man and the one of the dogs escaped. Crews evacuated three other homes as rain pounded the coast. All of the evacuees were able to ¿nd their own temporary shelter. “It was a pretty good slide,” Langborg told radio station KCST. “It was impressive.” The Northwest has been pounded by ¿erce storms for much of December. The storms have sent rivers bursting from their banks, spilled boulders and trees onto highways and spawned a rare tornado that snapped power poles and battered homes in the region. The storms have caused millions of dollars of damage to roads and property. Moisture from the storms is helping to ¿ll reservoirs earlier and recharging the groundwater in a region that has been plagued by drought. Much of Washington’s water supply depends on mountain snowpack that builds over winter, and melts in spring Lo 43 17 22 41 14 16 40 25 27 26 17 18 19 34 42 43 25 28 27 40 24 41 26 19 40 31 25 NATIONAL WEATHER TODAY Sun.
