The Cadillac attempted to pass an uninvolved vehicle and struck the Dodge in the eastbound lane.
The Cadillac came to rest on the westbound shoulder, and the Dodge came to rest on the eastbound shoulder, the release said.
The driver of the Cadillac, a 26-year-old man, and the two occupants of the Dodge, a 33-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man, died at the scene, the release said. First responders transported the passenger of the Cadillac, a 28-year-old man, to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett.
At 4:50 a.m., the roadway reopened, according to Washington State Patrol spokesperson Kelsey Harding on social media.
