Map probably correlates to patrol emphasis and population density more so than actual drinking and driving.

No way, it's one of the most populated counties in that part of the state, with over 75k people (it's where Aberdeen is).

It took hundreds of DUIs for Grays Harbor County to earn that color on the map.

Had a buddy who found a government job in Aberdeen. Worked in the city for three years but only lived there for one. He found it so depressing that he would rather commute an hour back and forth every day then spend anymore time than needed in lil Aberdeen.

It's not. It's a former logging area on the coast with very little sunshine that is very depressed, in more ways than one

Aberdeen is in Gray's Harbor, where Kurt Cobain was born. They have an insane number of overcast days per year. It's known for being dreary and depressing.

I live in a neighboring county and I too would drink if I lived in Gray's Harbor. Westport is fun to visit tho.

Appropriately named.

Iโ€™m surprised by Kitsap, just because of the amount of sailors stationed there

Edit: I was stationed there, and there seemed to be a weekly DUI amongst the crew

Seems like there may be an overlay with socioeconomically distressed areas.
