Hi Andrea,

I just spoke with the trails manager (acting) at the Methow RD.  The PCT is
CLOSED at Cutthroat Pass to Brown Bear Mine.  They do have a person at
Washington Pass handing out information.  There is no reroute at this
time.  I will forward you the closure map when she emails it to me, as well
as a Public Information contact.

Thank you.
