King County: The season opener for the Seahawks is finally here! As with other sporting events downtown Seattle this will bring a lot of traffic to the stadium area starting mid-afternoon today.
This past Friday into Saturday morning Washington State Patrol (WSP) troopers investigated three horrible collisions involving the arrest of the causing drivers for suspected impairment. Two lost their lives in one collision, one lost their life in the second and one was seriously injured in the third collision. These were all preventable!
WSP troopers will be out in force this afternoon, evening and into the night to insure the safety of those traveling on our roadways as we do every day and night. Additional troopers will be added to patrol in the downtown corridor looking for signs of potential impairment.
Make good choices today and every day and let’s make sure everyone is safe no matter where you are celebrating this first game! GO HAWKS !!
