I mean, great. But why only now?
Snoqualmie Pass is the pass through the mountains. It's not the name of the animal crossings.
For a better write-up on these crossings a few miles east of the pass, you can go to the source at the Washington Department of Transportation: https://wsdot.wa.gov/about/data/gray-notebook/gnbhome/environment/wildlifehabitatconnectivity/snoqualmiepasseastproject.htm
These will be very useful for humans in the collapse!
