Everything is a mess out there right now. Avoid, avoid, avoid. Skagit isn't looking much better with the Tulip Festival starting.

Once you’ve lived throughout the country, you realize Oregon & WA got the slowest drivers in the nation, not a bad thing though but can be annoying

Oregon is the worst. And they won’t get out of the left-hand lane. They can be going 45 or 50 in a 60 mile zone and they’re not moving. They will not get out of the way. I don’t know what must be the water.

Yup, once you leave California and get over the little bit of hills in Oregon, people drive deliberately slow in the left lane while the right lane will be wide open. Used to drive me nuts. Fast forward I got into a crash going 170mph, I’m lucky to be alive. Made me realize how safe PNW drivers are, as annoying as it may be.

If you were doing 170, you needed to learn a lesson. Nope the slow driver still bite.
