A few seconds is all it takes to crash. Distracted drivers kill over 3500 people each year. During April's #DistractedDrivingAwarenessMonth, BPD's extra patrols will increase awareness. Ofc. Bereta cited 16 drivers in 4 hours for being on their phones. #JustDrive #DistractionFree

Great reminder from (and Josh from The Office) to remove your studded tires by March 31!
Quote Tweet
Reminder: Deadline to remove studded tires is March 31. Businesses get busy as the deadline nears so don't wait until the last minute. It takes a large, statewide snow event to consider extending it and that is not in the forecast. wsdot.wa.gov/about/news/202
A man in a business jacket and tie stands in an office and says just get it done.
