Surprise! Washington State One of the Worst to Drive In

Do you love driving in Washington State?

I mean, really love it?

Driving through Seattle during rush hour.

Making that weird 405 junction exit where you have to wait in a line of cars only to turn to head towards Renton and have to wait in another line of cars?

Driving anywhere that has a merge to learn that apparently literally nobody knows about the zipper method?

Well, if not, you're not alone as, according to Wallet Hub, it turns out Washington State is the 2nd worst state to drive in.

2nd only to Hawaii.

So of all the mainland state, Washington State is the worst state to drive in.

And have you seen the other drivers? I can believe it.

Fortunately, here on the east side of Washington I think the drivers are a little cooler; a little better than those passive aggressive drivers over on the west side of Washington.

Not to say we don't have our fill here, too, but they seem less abundant.

A few other stats to consider about Washington being one of the worst to drive in, from best to worst.
35th state for rush-hour traffic congestion.

49th for car theft.

48th for average gas prices

40th for auto-maintenance costs

47th for road quality

Along with other factors, that makes Washington State the 2nd worst state to drive in of all 50 states.

On the flipside, Idaho is the 2nd best state to drive in.

Now, people of the jury, I used to live in Idaho. I lived in Idaho for 5 years and drove from Boise to Idaho Falls often and I'm here to tell you, no, it's not.

I'd much rather drive in Washington than Idaho, but that's just me.
