In general, post in alphabetical order by common road name within each section unless there are more natural geographical groupings (e.g. North Fork XXX, South Fork XXX)
Mount Rainier
Corral Pass (FS 7174) Closed since 2015 fire, campground area high severity fire with many hazardous trees.
Chinook Pass (SR 410) website
Mowich Lake Road (SR 165) Mowich Lake, Spray Park, Echo/Observation Rock
Typically opens in July
Stevens Canyon Road Paving project continues through 2023

I-90
Talapus (9030), Mason Lake (9031)?
Cold Creek Road (9070) to Windy Pass and PCT 7-22-2022 Drove to Mt Catherine TH in Subaru Forester. Several sections of serious potholes. Two sections with parallel gullies along the length of the road. Once the fall rains start those gullies will collect water and I suspect serious road damage will result. Joey
Tinkham (55), Spring 2023, Read a report of rocks blocking road just west of campground
Garcia (9020) ?
Middle Fork Snoqualmie Road (FS 56) Mailbox TH, Taylor River TH, Dingford Creek TH, Goldmyer Hot Springs
05/15/23. Paved section open. Gravel section to Dingford trailhead is very rough.The Goldmyer Access Report usually has updated road conditions.
[b]North Fork Snoqualmie Road (FS 57) Bare, Dog, Goat, Phelps, ...
10/01/2014 A $75 permit is required to access Hancock Timber lands along the North Fork road. The road is public and you can drive through Hancock lands to reach FS areas for free, but you can't park and climb Fuller or visit other attractions on their land without the permit. There was active logging on the North Fork in 2014 so the road has been graded and was in better shape than usual most of the summer.
05/01/2016 The USFS has blocked the road at the junction of the road heading up Lennox Creek. This adds about 3 miles of road walking to get to the Bare Mountain trailhead or other destinations up Lennox Creek
Rocky Run (FS 4832)
The spur (136 per Google Maps) to the backdoor TH is extra brushy but save for a nasty water channel right at the beginning and some moderate rutting about halfway in is still more or less drivable. Extra clearance would be good, don't take a car you don't want to add pinstripes to.
Teanaway
North Fork Teanaway road (9737)
Teanaway Middle Fork (NFD 113)
Jack Creek Road (9738)
Stafford Creek Road 9703
Beverly turnpike road (1391) (7.28.2021, Joey) Two bad spots washing out. We were very careful and did OK in a Subaru Forester. Low clearance might not make it.

Forest Road 10 2012. Closed. Mitchell Peak north access - from DNR: "While the forestland is managed by DNR, the only access road to the trailhead—10 Road—cuts across private landownership, and the new landowner has gated and closed access to the road just east of the intersection with the S-1000 Road. DNR does not have a recreation easement for recreation access across this road. DNR land managers are working on a solution.In the meantime, the only access to Mitchell Peak trail is from the North Siouxon Creek Trailhead, in the southern part of the Siouxon Block. The distance from this trailhead to the top of Mitchell Peak is about 13 miles."

I was out on the Entiat this weekend, did some camping at Fox Creek. They just opened that campground and Lake Creek the day I went, I think? Super fresh and clean outhouses, very quiet. There are some snow patches across the river from Fox Creek, and snow patches in one or two of the spots at Lake Creek. There is snow on the road starting just a bit after Lake Creek CG and trailhead parking area. I wan by myself, so I didn't venture past that point. It's sure pretty out there now, I've never been out that road.

Checked out a few roads on the east side of the Olympics today.
The road to Lena Lake trailhead has been cleared of tree debris. I drove an approximate 1.5 to 2 miles beyond the Lena Lake trailhead and it was clear of tree debris and with very few potholes.
I drove about a 10th of a mile beyond the end of the pavement on the Duckabush. The potholes were so big and numerous that it took me about 5 minutes to drive that 10th of a mile. I got frustrated and turned around.
Drove to the end of the Dosewallips Road. Once you start driving on the dirt portion of the road, tree debris has not been completely cleared, except for a single car width’s has been cut out. There were numerous large potholes, but not as bad as the Duckabush Road.

Last Wednesday drove to the end of the Little Wenatchee Road. Ran into a crew with two machines, it’s now brushed out and roughly graded past the end of the pavement. Walked up Poe Mtn trail and cleared all but half a dozen blowdowns, too big for my saw but easy step overs. The trail is in good shape, a friend brushed it out last year and cut in fresh waterbars. Still snow for the last quarter mile or so.

Pretty sure #49 is open and clear. They are still working on Coal lake road, I assume to remove the slide debris area. It's not closed, sign say's "Road work ahead, expect delays". I have been avoiding it until they are done, but I don't think they work weekends.

Anybody know about the Tenas Creek road to Boulder lake near Darrington ? I called the Ranger station and they didn't have any recent reports.

Is the Suiattle road still closed at Downey Creek? The Darrington RD road/trail conditions map has not been working for months... shocker.

Tenas Creek road to Boulder lake has been cleared to the TH. It's still a bit overgrown in places but nothing major.

Hulk Smash has been working to clear and brush Tenas Ck Rd for a few weeks. I’m sure he would appreciate some help.

Kudos to Hulksmash! I benefited from his hard work on this road last Friday. I'll post a TR on the trip to Boulder.
