You might have to keep a keen eye open soon if you are driving in Bellevue as a tech giant is bringing autonomous vehicles to the area for testing and chose the region for its rainy conditions.

The Puget Sound Business Journal reports Alphabet Inc.’s self-driving project, Waymo, will be testing electric Jaguar I-Pace vehicles over the next few months.

The company said it chose the region because the driving environment was similar in certain respects to other western U.S. cities.

The big shock comes from how much prices have increased over the past year, as there’s been about a 9% jump in the Consumer Price Index overall.
