Our instructor team consists of police officers, firefighters, EMS professionals and military veterans. We have decades of experience in all manner of emergency situations. Our backgrounds guaranteed frequent use of vehicles and the development of all related skills entailed therein. 18-wheelers, MRAPs, Ambulances, Police Cruisers, Motorcycles and Quads were just some of the vehicles our team grew up on. Learning to operate these vehicles in all climates and terrain while performing our other duties was a challenge. Only through training, patience and perseverance were we each able to find success. 

Our emergency service backgrounds lend themselves toward developing a strong presence of mind and calm under pressure. We welcome nervous drivers and encourage the risk-averse to consider training with one of us instead of giving up on the independence and pride earned from learning to drive. We strive to create an inclusive environment where anyone can feel comfortable while learning to drive. We want to be the calming presence that will lend you the confidence you need to safely learn, or review, the rules of the road. 

We are a team of working-class professionals who are passionate about our craft. We take pride in our work and want to help make our roads safer. We seek to embody patience, kindness and adaptability. Each of our staff are a Licensed Washington State Driving Instructor. Each staff member also holds Certified Knowledge Examiner and Certified Examiner endorsements on their licenses. Most of our team speak two or more languages and come from all over the world. 

Charity begins at home and our school works hard to see outside our own walls. We work with local organizations to help provide resources to those most in need. Whether it be essentials, clothes, financial donations, food, driving lessons or otherwise, our team have come together many times to help our communities. We try to support one cause each month.

We are all in this together. We share the roads and everything between every day. As a driving school, our goal is to instruct and impart the safest driving practices to our students and the public through educational excellence. We hope our training and testing reflect our commitment to excellence and service. If we fall short, please reach out and we will do our best to make it right. Thank you for your continued patronage.
