To locate DUI drivers Washington State Troopers have drafted DUI maps. The maps confirm some suspicions and also reveal new trends. It's hard to steer clear of Downtown Seattle, where danger blankets the area. The zone saw 36 DUI deaths from 2005-09. South Seattle is even worse, where drunk drivers killed 42 people in that time period - the most of any single zone. Redmond saw three fatal crashes in that time frame concentrated along Redmond Way. Especially deadly is SR-167 from Auburn to Algona, where DUIs killed six people. Snohomish and Pierce counties also have risky corridors. Tacoma's deadliest times are weekdays after midnight. A total of 18 people lost their lives. Puyallup's death toll is just as high, but crashes are more likely on the weekends, and many occur in the afternoons. To the north, enforcement has tighter focal points because crashes tend to cluster in Snohomish County. The real trouble spots are in Mill Creek and Lynnwood, two cities that claim the county's highest rates for fatal DUIs. Using this data, the 21-members of the Target Zero Teams have arrested 925 DUI suspects since July 1. "We're not out here to pick on people," McDonald says. "We're out here to save lives."
