There is a mere 30 miles of forest habitat left between North Bend and Easton to link Mt. Rainier to the Alpine Lakes. Picture the Cascade Mountains looking like an hourglass. The area on both sides of I-90 is literally the thinnest portion of the hourglass. It creates a threatening bottleneck for wildlife populations that need to either roam between habitats on both sides or simply maintain genetic continuity between the North and Central Cascades.
