Let me beg to differ on the quality of resupply at Snoqualmie Pass.  Although I realize the "food" there would suit many just fine, as someone who avoids trans-fats, white flour/rice/pasta and prefers to go wholesome  and vegetarian while hiking, I cannot imagine trying to subsist on resupplied food from this armpit of a stop. 




Did you really mean Snoqualmie Pass? There was a great gas station  
market there with all kinds of groceries plus clothing and shoes (not  
hiking shoes) and books and just about anything and everything,  
including a post office. There was a grocery store, too, but I didn't  
go inside. Are both these gone? Because you could have resupplied  
from the gas station alone in a pinch.
