EVERETT - From 2,000 feet up, the nighttime traffic on I-5 in Everett is
beautiful.
Paul Speckmaier looks for the pins of light that aren't behaving properly.
Speckmaier is a trooper and pilot with the Washington State Patrol. He
stopped by Snohomish County on Friday night to help local troopers begin
their holiday emphasis patrols.
From a Cessna 206, he scanned the traffic below.
"After you start watching it for awhile, it's pretty obvious which cars
stand out," he said.
This weekend marked the earliest start to holiday patrols ever in the state,
trooper Keith Leary said. Between Friday and Sunday, troopers arrested 24
impaired drivers in Snohomish County alone.
Fall weather triggers the party mentality that unfortunately flows into the
roads, Leary said.
Troopers have seen Halloween become more and more of an adult party night,
trooper Kirk Rudeen said. The parties are getting bigger, better organized
and more alcohol-fueled.
