and summer.
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.”

PORTLAND (AP) —
Members of the Confeder-
ated Tribes of Warm Springs
have approved a plan to build
a facility to grow marijuana
on their reservation in central
Oregon and sell it at tribe-
owned stores outside the
reservation.
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.
The tribe is one of the ¿rst in
the country to enter the pot

SPOKANE, Wash. (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
