The Washington State Patrol (WSP) announced the results of their King County "emphasis patrols" over the Memorial Day weekend. We reported last week that the WSP was to add 25 troopers to the King County highways over the Memorial weekend. The good news is that there were not car accident fatalities and no serious car accidents over the three day weekend.
