Warning Seattle drivers!

Prolly the wrong section but this'll get lots of views from the wet siderrs!
I know a lot of people say this about their city or drivers in general, but w t h is in the water here lately?
List of accidents, incidents, near misses or just general dumb arse attacks seen in the last couple weeks.
Wife run partially off the road, 2 lane.
Wife almost t boned at 4 way intersection. (Kids corroborated moms story and her driving skills btw. Wife credited the handling and speed of her car keeping her out of the accidents.)
Several run of the mill accidents, unknown causes.
People (I won't mention their race, but anyone over here knows who I'm talking about...lol) merging onto freeways at 40 mph, driving slow in the left lane, general inattention crossing lane lines, asleep at the stoplight etc.
Dude almost ran into my parked boat/trailer in a donk. Actually jumped the curb to miss it with his 30" rimz.
2semis flipped over on I 90 different times and spots around Snoq pass.
Pickup KOs a traffic barrel on I 90. I'm next car in line behind him. As I'm serving to avoid the barrel he just spit out and the jersey barrier, he hits the brakes......after the fact. = 60 mph coffee in lap for me, yay. At least avoided it.
Car drives off road onto shoulder at about 75 mph, not bad but then over corrects for no reason and makes it back across her lane and into the next one over! Little traffic, no harm there either.
And the best one........right as wife is telling me about the first 2 I posted that happened in the same day, residential street with cars parked on the side, lifted Tahoe with dubs, rear ends, square, dead on, an old GMC pickup that is ALWAYS parked there. Tahoe looked totaled. Airbag popped and hood look like a Aliner camper! Old truck with big ole steel bumper got bed pushe into cab and bumper folded almost completely under the truck.

While this seems kinda tongue in cheek, it's a real public service warning if you're driving around here in the land of idiot drivers!
