Attention Ballard and Fremont: Stop Boozin' and Cruisin'

IMG_0029.jpg

What do you think of when you imagine drunk drivers in Seattle? Football fans spilling out of Irish-themed Pioneer Square bars, their livers heavy with whiskey and their judgment clouded by game-day enthusiasm? Or strip club fans barreling down Aurora after leaving with one too many Budweisers?

It's not quite so obvious, say cops. While Aurora and Pioneer Square are both high-DUI areas, cops are also targeting Ballard and Fremont for drunk drivers.

What the hell, people? We know both 'hoods have their share of great great bars, but is it that hard to stay within your limits? If you're going to get drunk, take a damn walk. Or are you so lazy you'd rather slam head-on into another car at high speed?

    I used to live on 39th at Phinney - I think that area was the official DUI stop zone for the Seattle PD. AFIK, enforcement in Fremont is nothing new, and I'm happy to see more in Ballard.
