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.
