A new report says Seattle-area drivers are among some of the worst in the 200 largest US cities.

Allstate released its annual America’s Best Drivers Report.

Seattle drivers ranked 179 out of 200, up from last year’s rank of 181. Tacoma came in at 167 and Bellevue at 157.

Portland ranked below Seattle at 190.

The report is based on how frequently crashes happen in each city.

The report says the safest cities in America are Brownsville, Texas, Kansas City, Kansas, and Boise, Idaho.

Miami was most improved from last year, moving up to 86 from 123 in 2017.

The last city on the list coming in at number 200 is Baltimore, Maryland.
