Western Washington emission-test stations closed

OLYMPIA - Due to weather conditions, vehicle emission-test stations in Clark, King, Pierce and Snohomish counties are currently closed.

The test stations are expected to re-open on Wednesday, Jan. 7.

Stations normally are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on week days, and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. The emission-testing program helps reduce air pollution from motor vehicles by identifying high-polluting vehicles that need repairs.
