Appendix K | 3 <br />North Bend (about 11% of trips), Seattle (about 10% of trips), Cle Elum (about 8% of trips), Issaquah <br />(about 7% of trips), Snoqualmie (about 6% of trips), and Bellevue (about 6% of trips). Trip activity was <br />more evenly distributed between western and eastern Washington compared to the winter weekend <br />pattern, suggesting a mix of worker, service, and freight-related movements with reduced recreation <br />travel. <br />On an average summer weekend day, travel volumes increased relative to winter weekdays but were <br />lower than winter weekend levels. Approximately 5,600 average daily trips occurred to or from <br />Snoqualmie Pass, reflecting a combination of outdoor recreation, regional tourism, and through- <br />travel along I-90. East–west travel was more balanced compared to winter weekends, with trip <br />origins spread across a broader range of census tracts on both sides of the Pass, including North <br />Bend (about 11% of trips), Seattle (about 9% of trips), Issaquah (about 6% of trips), Cle Elum (about <br />6% of trips), Bellevue (about 4% of trips), and Snoqualmie (about 4% of trips)These results highlight <br />Snoqualmie Pass as both a summer recreation destination and a key stop along I-90, a major regional <br />travel corridor. <br />On an average summer weekday (based on Tuesday through Thursday travel), trip volumes were <br />higher than during winter weekdays but lower than summer weekends, and trip origins and <br />destinations suggest a greater share of commuter and freight-related travel compared to leisure <br />activity. An estimated 3,700 average daily trips occurred to or from Snoqualmie Pass. Most trips <br />connected the Pass with population and employment centers along the I-90 corridor, including Cle <br />Elum (about 11% of trips), Seattle (about 9% of trips), Ellensburg (about 7% of trips), North Bend <br />(about 7% of trips), and Issaquah (about 6% of trips). The spatial distribution of trip origins suggests a <br />mix of routine corridor travel and operational activity that supports both commerce and recreation in <br />the Snoqualmie Pass area.
