Transect Locations and Coverage
NOTE: Site assignments and dates for tracking days will be organized at the team leader
training. Each team-leader will be assigned three sites to visit.
This project surveys six locations along the I-90 corridor. These sites coincide with
several proposed wildlife crossings or other proposed development. Each site involves
two half-mile transects, one on either side of the highway, (except for Hyack/Silver Fir,
which is not along the highway.) Below is a brief description of the sites with directions
to them. (All UTM coordinates are zone 10, NAD 83 datum)

The SNOPASS transect is accessed off of exit 52, the first Snoqualmie Pass exit when
coming from the west. From the eastbound off ramp, take a right and turn into the large
plowed parking lot immediately to the right. This is a new transect starting in 2014, and is
a location which is not going to be converted into a wildlife crossing, and thus will act as
a true control. This site is accessed from the PCT.
The North Leg of the transect is accessed by carefully crossing the road and walking
under Interstate 90. From the parking area go north, under the bridge, and a winter trail
will lead north towards the trailhead for the Pacific Crest Trail. If inaccessible, you can
continue north on the main road (NF 9041) to the first road spur on your right. This will
take you up a small hill to a summer parking area for the PCT. The transect starts just
south of the bathroom. The transect start is 10 meters south of the outhouse at the
