🚗 The 100 Deadliest Days: A Summer Safety Warning for Washington Drivers

Summer in Washington State is a time for sunshine, road trips, and family fun—but it’s also the most dangerous season to be on the road. The period between Memorial Day and Labor Day is referred to by traffic safety experts as the “100 Deadliest Days” due to the sharp increase in fatal and serious car accidents.

📈 Why Do Accidents Spike in Summer?

Summer creates a perfect storm of risky driving conditions:

  • More drivers on the road, including tourists and teens
  • Inexperienced teen drivers out of school
  • Distracted driving—especially texting and social media use
  • Impaired driving from alcohol and drug use at social gatherings
  • Speeding and reckless behavior on both highways and rural roads
  • More motorcycles, cyclists, and pedestrians sharing the road

🚨 Most Dangerous Roads in Washington During Summer

If you live or drive in Southwest Washington, be especially cautious on:

  • I-5 between Olympia and Vancouver – High congestion, high speeds, frequent collisions
  • State Route 6 and State Route 507 – Winding rural roads prone to speeding-related crashes
  • Centralia-Chehalis/Olympia-Tumwater-Lacey city streets – Heavy traffic during festivals, events, and tourism
  • Mountain passes – Popular but hazardous with sudden weather changes and narrow lanes

⚖️ Why You Need a Personal Injury Attorney After a Collision

After an accident, it’s common to feel overwhelmed. Insurance companies may offer lowball settlements—or deny claims outright. That’s why having an experienced Washington personal injury attorney like the team at Althauser Rayan Abbarno can make a life-changing difference.
