Driving Schools in Seattle Metro Hub
Seattle and the Puget Sound region present distinctive driving challenges with hills, water crossings, and the famous Pacific Northwest rain. I-5 is the main north-south corridor, notoriously congested, while I-90 and SR-520 cross Lake Washington to the Eastside tech hubs. The city's hills rival San Francisco.
Seattle driving schools teach rain driving as a fundamental skill—wet roads are the norm much of the year. Ferry crossings to islands add a unique element, and the region's drawbridges require patience. Tech traffic to Microsoft, Amazon, and other employers creates specific commute patterns.
Washington DOL offices throughout the Puget Sound provide road testing services.
