state patrol is everywhere........
i was coming home today, and i was stunned to see 7 state patrol cruisers on I5. each one of them had pulled over a car and was sternly writing a ticket. This was within one exit distance. exit 175 I5 going north is just infested. there is an overpass, and they hide under it. but today i was amazed. they were 7 cop cars. this is just ridiculous. so far i have seen 2 -3 maximum , but 7 cop cars.

This has been going on since the beginning of the year... I seen a Renton cop car pulling over someone in Puyallup.. I've also been seeing other city patrols in different cities... transportation is trying to make alot of money...

Ahhh... so that's where they were! I travel almost the whole length of 405 for my commute and yesterday I didn't see a single WSP the entire drive home. I thought it was kinda odd since usually I see at least 2 WSPs writing tickets every day on the drive home. I gotta say, traffic flowed very nicely yesterday, better than it normally does. I wonder if there's a connection?

Going to original post there are almost always cops between exit 174 and 175 on I-5 north under the overpass (at least the last 12 years I lived in Seattle). 7 seems a bit too many but it's not out of ordinary to see 3-4.

They follow the WSP spotter airplane like a bunch of dogs, they now a multiple target tracking system and 2 airplanes. It's some type of big ticket event.
