Only 22 of the bodies have been identified, said the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office.
The town of Oso, 95km north of Seattle, was struck by a 54m wall of mud and debris on 22 March.
The area is covered by mud 80ft deep in some places.
The landslide destroyed about 30 houses, temporarily damming a river and covering a highway.
The BBC reports heavy rain has hampered the search. Mild weather on Tuesday allowed crews to spend less time controlling the water and more time searching.
