Everett Lynnwood DUI Attorney: Washington State Patrol out in Force for St. Patrick's Day
The Washington State Patrol said St. Patrick's Day patrols will be in force in Arlington, Brier, Edmonds, Everett, Granite Falls, Lake Stevens, Lynnwood, Marysville, Mill Creek, Monroe, Mountlake Terrace, Snohomish and the Tulalip Indian Reservation along with the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office. The Bothell Police Department, which straddles the King-Snohomish County line, also will conduct patrols as part of the Snohomish County effort.
The State Patrol arrested 26 suspected drunken drivers in Snohomish County between March 11 and Wednesday. Last year, it arrested 20 suspected drunken drivers on St. Patrick's Day and the following day.
People still should be able to have a good time on St. Patrick's Day. They just need to make arrangements not to drive if they will be drinking, Leary said. "We encourage people to go out and have a great time," he said. "They just have to go out and do it responsibly and sensibly."
In Washington, impaired driving from drugs or alcohol remains the most frequent factor contributing to traffic deaths. In 2009, traffic crashes killed 491 people on Washington's roadways. Impaired drivers accounted for nearly 54 percent of the accidents.
