WSDOT crews planned to work all day Thursday to clear the largest slide at Granite Creek near Mile Post 150. The slide measured 750 feet wide and 5 feet deep.
A thunderstorm that dumped heavy rain on the area caused four mudslides west of Rainy Pass.
The slides trapped 65 people for about six hours before they were safely rescued.
