northwest driving school welcomes you!

With mixed emotions, we have decided to semi-retire. At the end of 2022, we will switch to part-time and close our Silverdale location. Our Poulsbo location will continue to operate as usual. For changes to our other locations, please visit those location pages for more details.

Online classes were only allowed as part of the emergency action by the State in response to COVID and are set to end along with the pandemic timeline. The DOL is currently meeting to propose and allow Washington State Private Driving Schools the ability to continue offering this but have not come to an agreement yet. We are anxiously keeping an eye on their proposed WAC changes and intend to offer online classes year round for Poulsbo, Sequim and Port Angeles on a limited basis. 

We know this announcement affects many communities adversely however it is the best for our family moving forward. We are grateful for all the years we enjoyed with our teens serving the communities we grew up in and love so dearly. Thank you so much for sharing your teen with us! It was our honor! Please note, if you had a student attend with us previously and have a sibling next in line to attend with us, please contact us. There may be something we can do within our part-time schedules.

northwest driving school™ is a state licensed program with a progressive curriculum approved by the State of Washington Department of Licensing. All of our instructors have completed our rigorous certification process and are also fully licensed by the Washington State Department of Licensing.

Our teachers are experienced in adapting to the learning styles of students and use a variety of techniques such as cooperative learning, direct instruction, visual aides, discussions and hands-on experiences. They also have the unique ability to make the learning meaningful to the lives of their students.

We’re not strangers to working with young people and adults in the educational and teaching fields. The initiative for our driving school came because we feel mastery of skills in safe driving would save thousands of teen and adult lives each year. That’s why we are dedicated to teaching our students to DRIVE TO SURVIVE™.

We are a locally owned and operated private driving school in Kitsap County since 1991, with driving school locations in Port Townsend, Poulsbo, Port Angeles, Sequim, and Forks.

 


Your organization did a great job and I will be back with my youngest daughter next year so you can train her too…. You have the best reputation in the Silverdale area.

Arne and Bernice

I asked a lot of questions and got all the answers I was looking for… I did very well on all my drives because of what I learned in the classroom… My drive instructors did not put me down in any way… They gave me more than one chance!

Allison B.

We give the Northwest Driving School the highest rating… Our daughter is always commenting on my driving and the ‘proper way to do things’.

James and Barbro T.

Jeff really emphasized the seriousness of driving…. instruction was straight forward… really learn this stuff, your life depends on it!
