More DUI Patrols Across Grays Harbor/Pacific Counties Starting This Week

Monday, August 24, 2026 at 7:53 PM

Officers will be looking for drivers impaired by alcohol, cannabis and other drugs.

Expect more DUI patrols across Grays Harbor and Pacific counties starting this week and continuing through Labor Day. Officers will be looking for drivers impaired by alcohol, cannabis and other drugs, and the state says impairment can begin well before someone reaches a point-zero-eight blood alcohol level. At point-zero-five, reaction time, coordination and judgment can already suffer. Washington averages about 15 traffic deaths around Labor Day each year, so officials are urging people to plan a sober ride before celebrating.
