BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Prepare for an increase in police presence this Saint Patrick’s Day, which falls on a Sunday this year.

The Washington State Patrol is urging everyone to plan ahead and avoid driving impaired during the holiday as they will have extra troopers on duty in an effort to prevent potential tragedies on Washington roadways.

The State Patrol says their Mobile Impaired Driving Unit will be stationed in Snohomish County so those arrested can be dropped off and processed efficiently.
