Volunteer convoy brings relief to those stranded for days in Skykomish

Loaded with all the provisions they could carry, about a dozen trucks made the trek up Stevens Pass on Wednesday to help neighbors in need.

"We don't know all these folks, but that doesn't matter," said organizer Garry Vire. "They need our help so we're gonna help them."

Hundreds of people living in the mountain towns between Gold Bar and Skykomish were left stranded in their homes when the pass closed on Sunday night as heavy snow brought down dozens of trees and power lines.

"I haven't had power for five days. I haven't had water for three days. I'm running on a generator, a propane heater. It's pretty crazy," said Skykomish resident Robert Cunningham.
