Artist Point near Mount Baker is typically has one of the last roadways in Washington to be cleared of snow, and that's true this year.
Two Washington Transportation Department workers used GPS readings Wednesday to determine there still 30 feet of snow covering the parking lot at the end of the last 3-mile stretch of the Mount Baker Highway.
The Bellingham Herald reports that Artist Point was closed by snow Oct. 25. Last year crews reopened it on July 30.
At an elevation of 5,100 feet, it offers views of Mount Baker and Mount Shuksan and is a trailhead for mountain hikes.
