That big building you saw was an Aircraft manufacturing plant. They called it Darwin, we know it as Boeing. ;) They even have some airplanes moving around it.
Craig Lillie if you are in Seattle @home leave the city til 3.11 this year. That is not a joke. And go not in the football stadium on this day. Tell this every body you know who lives also in Seattle. watch the videos by the channel: beam me up scotty and the channel savier.
Missed biggest thing in Everett, Darwing 3:44 basically Boeing planet with largest building in the world. Also around Seattle new signs @ 7:47 and onwards are new feature, dynamic speed limits and LED signs
Yeah I noticed that too. There's several over-head road sings with messaging that changes. Some directly informing you of what's ahead that's a detour or if there's speed changes... :P
The Boeing building is the largest building by volume. The largest building in area footprint is actually the Aalsmeer flower auction house in Amsterdam
Welcome to Seattle, my home town! Of course, travel times are greatly reduced in this game. In reality, it would take you around 40 minutes to drive from Tacoma to Seattle. From Portland to Seattle is 3 hours, at least.
Paul D leave the cirty til 3.11 this year, if you wanna survive. That is not a joke. Warn everybody you know in seattle. Watch the yt. channel svcotty beam me up and savier.
as an ex truck driver ... the refrigerated trailer is the most versital ... not only can you haul temp control loads, but dry goods as well ... its really the best of both worlds
I gotta say having been to Bellingham they did a pretty spot on job. That rocket and mural is pretty realistic. Same with the river, residential areas, and tall buildings. I hope they did the port section of it as well.
In one of the earlier trucking sims 'Anericain Long Haul' there were some loads that were heavy. If you decierd to take that job you were notified that it was a heavy load and that you could be fined if it showed as ovewieght when wieeghed at the scales and you were fined for being overwieght.
@@Sandman253 I bought my licensed copy of 18WOS:ALH on a online gamestore website that has long since disappeared. The game had older graphics (natch) and lot of weird glitches, but in some ways it had stuff more cooler than the Truck Sims series. I think I had the last two games in the old series. The last one had the north part of Mexico added back in it.
Fun tidbits, at 25:05, the intersection of Broadway and Everett, there is actually a gas station there, it's a Chevron. The other side, the Walbert is a grocery store, QFC. The other side of the gas station is a KFC/Long John Silver's. Just love how SCS have done this with pretty good accuracy.
At the 26:00 that is a center pivot draw bridge. the center span twist to open the river channel. And whether or not you get weight repeatedly is luck of the draw. Most States If it's open you weight. Unless your Company uses a service called PrePass, then you usually only need to weight once.
You can use a refrigerated trailer for any cargo. Just if it doesn't need refrigeration, you turn off the compressors. I used to drive for a company that had nothing but refeer trailers, but hauled all cargoes.
The Big ‘Factory’ next to Everett is the massive Boeing Everett Assembly Factory. You can also do special cargo deliveries from there, like aircraft engines, etc.
Squirrel thanks for driving to Bellingham. I live in the Bham area. Pretty good representation of the drive from Tacoma to Bham through Seattle. There is a small mountain pass with some small waterfalls between Burlington and Bellingham I wished they could have put in the game for Washington. Also the Rocket you saw in Bham is a business called Rocket Donuts. I love your work BTW.
That Bay is the Puget Sound. From Wiki: In 1792 George Vancouver gave the name "Puget's Sound" to the waters south of the Tacoma Narrows, in honor of Peter Puget, a Huguenot lieutenant accompanying him on the Vancouver Expedition. This name later came to be used for the waters north of Tacoma Narrows as well.
Basically it is a city all the way from Olympia to Everett. It’s olympia cross a river into Tacoma and then cross another river into Seattle metropolitan area for the next 60-75 miles and then into Everett and across the snowhomish river into Maryvill. And then it’s out to the country side.
That 'Bay' you mentioned, is 'Puget Sound' and the land mass to the top left is Vacouver Island in Canada. The water between Vancouver Island and Port Angeles is the 'Straight ofJuan de Fuca'.
My dad used to work at the kenworth dealer as a mechanic! He's a manager at the PACCAR technical center now, happy he doesn't have tk drive into Seattle anymore haha
Squirrel, part of the reason why so many gas stations are unusable in game is that in the US most stations do NOT have diesel. So, its actually realistic to have a lot of stations that are inaccessible for trucks, since they wouldn't be able to fill up anyways ;) Oh, and the side by side quad you saw is actually an off road toy/utility vehicle. Looks like that particular AI driver uses theirs as a dirt/sand/mud toy as opposed to a hunting vehicle or yard work hauler. My sister in law has one of them...they're fun little beasts.
The I-5/I-90/West Seattle Bridge Interchange south of Downtown Seattle, is one of the largest freeway interchanges in the world by number of ramps. Also, from what I known, it is one of the busiest interchanges in the United States by car throughput.
The ferry near Seattle, WA takes you across the Puget Sound it's a inlet body of salt water that connects with the Pacific Ocean, Cargo ships use the Puget Sound to go to the ports in Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia...possibly Bellingham as well and take goods from these ports to places like Alaska, Hawaii and other parts of the world.
As a Bellinghamster (yes, that's what we're called), I'm actually quite impressed with the way the game depicts my hometown. It's a condensed version, of course, but fairly true to life, and the attention to detail is commendable. I recognized the turn-off onto Iowa St. from I-5; in real life, Iowa St. is where all of the town's car dealerships are, and if you'd taken a right turn there instead of a left, you might have seen them. I saw the Bellingham Herald building, with its easily recognizable sign. As others have said already, the mural and rocket were real, and were part of a pastry shop called Rocket Donuts, which used to be a very recognizable business here; sadly, Rocket Donuts closed down a few years ago, shortly before the pandemic, but the rocket is still there, with a different mural replacing the old one. Maritime Heritage Park is real, too; the area to the left that you were wondering about is the bayfront, on Bellingham Bay. The church is St. Paul's Episcopal, and it's real as well. And then it looks like the route took you up Eldridge Ave. (there's a lot of unique homes out there) and over near the airport on Bakerview. In real life, the drop-off spot is a Fred Meyer, and the large building next door is a La Quinta Inn & Suites. The drive from Seattle to Bellingham is relatively accurate as well-- it's a route I know very well. There were a _few_ notable things missing along the way, like the Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood, Tulalip Resort north of Marysville, and the mountain passes between here and Burlington (seriously, I've been on that section of I-5 countless times, and it is _still_ one of the most breathtakingly beautiful scenic routes I've ever taken). But I was surprised they captured the feel of the Skagit Valley area so accurately. Also, to put things into perspective, the real drive from Seattle to Bellingham is roughly 90 miles, and usually takes me about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, depending on congestion. I think the _least_ accurate thing here is that the traffic on I-5 around Seattle wasn't nearly as horrendous as it is in real life!
I'm still in the beginning of the video, so I don't know if you ever find out, but the big Factory in Everett is "Boeing". They ship a lot by rail to and from the facility.
Yep, you are both correct, I was there yesterday, there's 3 bridges, one for a train and 2 for cars. And just next to it is the I5. Although they barely have to turn being not to many boats go through that part of the river, but they are there in real life!! (I live in Washington if you can't tell already)
It actually doesn’t take long to go from Tacoma to Seattle because Seattle is basically one huge city. From Tacoma to Everett it is called Pugdetopilist it’s kind of like the one on the east side of the USA that stretchs from Washington D.C to Boston and it’s called Boswash
@starfield2 yeah, but you know what I mean. I know it taje some time and ressources, but 600$ just for the USA is too much. Maybe they will do package deal like est coast USA for 50$ and you get all the USA state that follow the Atlantic Ocean.
@@aswd45-mk14 First of all base game is done, all these are extra and completely optional purchase DLCs not forced to buy at all . Your assuming all DLCs will cost the same which they won't towards East coast they'll be priced accordingly and maybe bundle together. You aren't paying all this in one go, it's spread out throughout years. So 12 isn't too much at all consider other simulators with games and DLCs cost double the price and AAA franchises games and DLCs costing triple that 12 a year maybe more or less isn't expensive at all.
@@joeparkinson1770 I really hope they will bondle the states togeter. I still think it is too much. I no, i havent buy any of the DLC aport heavy haul. AAA are scam most of the time. I rarely buy those.
Weight stations in the states are as follow... If Open and no A.V.I. transponder, you enter. If equip with A.V.I. and green light, you bypass. If Red you enter. The DOT agent has the choice to change the transponder on any one or all trucks to bypass or enter for inspection. Most of the time they will do a inspection if they visually see a issue, if there system detects a issue (some have thermal cameras to see overheated tires and such) Every weight station is different. Some outdated equipment and some with full truck scan systems that can even xray the trailer.
Getting a green light at a weigh station is all a function of the trucking companies safety score with the federal government. Unsafe companies get inspected more often, but getting pulled into the weigh station is a random chance most of the time. Some days I pass every weigh station I come to, and some days I get pulled into several.
You're right about needing the possibility of failing the weigh station. We don't want something random, though. SCS needs to implement adjustable hitch position on the trucks, like now exists on the trailers, and detailed weigh-in. Then, if You have not set up Your rig correctly, You would expect to fail the weigh-in. We already have scales at some of the truck stops, which seem to have no purpose, so maybe SCS already has all of this in the pipeline. FYI, You should NOT be weighed multiple times in the same state. That's a Glitch! Great preview of the Seattle area of Washington DLC, Thanks!
As noted by others, the 1.35 update (for both ATS and ETS2) needs an update for your wiper button. You now need to map 2 buttons 1) Start/ increase wiper speed (more than 2 speeds); 2) Stop wipers. I saw at least 1/2 dozen scenery errors when you took the external view (you noticed some of them). Hopefully they are all fixed for the general release (4 hours now).
Hey Squirrel! Around 23:30 that giant building that you said looks like Saint Paul’s Cathedral is our capitol building, Olympia is a great capitol city. :) Greetings from Tacoma.
Also referring to distance, if you look at the exit number, like exit 247, thats actually how many miles into the state you are so exit one is vancouver washington and Bellingham is exit 250ish or what ever. fun fact for ya as well
everett in real life, actually has a multitude of highrises! i think it has almost 200k people, close to tacoma. and yeah, its about an hour north! but seattle has a commuter rail line to it and will soon have a metro line to it to speed things up.
The weight station stuff isn't turning in papers or Id. It's pulling the truck on the scales, failing it they tell you to pull to the parking area and a cop comes out with mirrors and check around the truck and then give you a fine for what you failed. I will have to ask my dad for a more reliable source since he's driven truck.
Totally missed Kurt Cobain's childhood home! Just getting out of the main city center in Shitattle is the same as any major city in the US, gigantic transition from a very "verticalized" center (many times mostly modernized) to a sudden "inner city" old center vibe (old buildings, mostly run down hoods, but gentrification is a thing just like in Seattle) with some homes, semi-detached or not town building homes, small buildings, shops either opened or closed in run down areas. Then there're the old blue collar suburbs, that aren't that far, sometimes, maybe closer to an old factory and such.
Awesome video. At 32:44 you see: ''Make your breakfast great again''. I don't see the new trailer at 6:03 in my ATS. My has the latest version. New cameras at 6:38.
Hi FYI. the yellow bumps/dots are marked like that in real life. it's like having a island there for separation. but without hassle of maintaining the island.
I-90 used to be the world’s longest floating bridge iirc, then Washington built a longer one. Now I-90 has the world’s only light rail floating bridge in the middle.
@@keisisqrl I 90 is also the longest interstate in the country at over 3000 miles stretching from Seattle to Boston. My dad drove my car back from Seattle and it took him 3 days of non stop driving to get it back to Albany.
Wow, wow, wow, awesome video 👍, you were in my home town, Bellingham. Oh and the fireworks you delivered to Walbert, In real life it is a Fred Meyer, and across the street is a Costco. So you delivered fireworks to Fred Meyer. Also the tall building next to your delivery destination was a hotel!! Oh and the Easter egg in Bellingham, that was a donut shop, it there in real life, it's called "Rocket Doughnuts" you can see it on Google maps, and that is why there was a rocket sculpture, and it's there in real life. Very very neat video, fairly realistic, although in real life a drive from Seattle to Bellingham takes about 2 hrs with traffic. But still, please do more videos in Bellingham.!!!!!;;
I live in the area and i got confused for a moment, a large section of area was removed, im so used to more stuff being between the Tacoma area you left and when you made it to the Seattle interchange and port. ... Basically the area where i live.
@A real bisexual petrol-head I play on almost minimal to get good stable framerate. It will still be the same games, but on new hardware with full settings if it will look and run like that, it will be like sequels compared to what I have now.
technically, anytime you see a weigh station in the us you are supposed to pull in unless you have a pass that tells a camera your average weight and speed
Since the land is 1/20th the size of real life, getting out and doing all the rest of it takes effectively 20x longer than it should: you can travel 20x more miles in the time you do some pissing about than you would if it were full scale and real life sized. Also the failure would have to be some small multiplier of the damage to your trailer or cab, otherwise you would have you being told to do an illegal transport job.

Kind of crazy how accurate the Spokne St/West Seattle exit is. It really is exactly like that, down to the elevation changes and everything.
They modeled the West Seattle Bridge really well. Right down to the terrible traffic even! 😂
Spokane rhymes with Ann. A lot of Washington place names come from indigenous names or words and they’re not pronounced the way most people expect.

Never thought I'd see you driving in my neck of the woods, Squirrel. Keep up the quality content!
Washington is out tomorrow! They are releasing these fast!
Hopefully Utah by the end of the year.
Not route 5, it's Interstate 5 or I-5 for short. @3:43
A real bisexual petrol-head to us it dose.
@A real bisexual petrol-head Yes it does, Route 5 is on the other side of the country
Wow the Federal Way weigh scale is pretty accurate. It doubles as a great area and is right in front of a water park. It's a pain in the ass.
Puget Sound & the Tacoma Narrows (lower down) is the name of the body of water.
Nice, congrats to the great quality of this video. Tomorrow I will drive in Washington too. Tks
8:56 hole in the terrain and another one at 13:40
Totally missed Kurt Cobain's childhood home!
Just getting out of the main city center in Shitattle is the same as any major city in the US, gigantic transition from a very "verticalized" center (many times mostly modernized) to a sudden "inner city" old center vibe (old buildings, mostly run down hoods, but gentrification is a thing just like in Seattle) with some homes, semi-detached or not town building homes, small buildings, shops either opened or closed in run down areas. Then there're the old blue collar suburbs, that aren't that far, sometimes, maybe closer to an old factory and such.
good morning my friend. good to see you again Squirrl
Awesome video. At 32:44 you see: ''Make your breakfast great again''. I don't see the new trailer at 6:03 in my ATS. My has the latest version. New cameras at 6:38.
Hi FYI. the yellow bumps/dots are marked like that in real life. it's like having a island there for separation. but without hassle of maintaining the island.
FYI, Squirrel. It is a ils, there a little red and white shack. that marks it there is a runway. it to far away to see.
It's rains so much in Washington that we use these bump things for the lane markers so we can feel them in low vis conditions
For the west side. The east is dry 95% of time.
This will be awesome I'm from the Tacoma area.
Actually to the west of Seattle is Puget sound. And to the east is lake Washington. I-90 is famous there because it’s a floating bridge
I-90 used to be the world’s longest floating bridge iirc, then Washington built a longer one. Now I-90 has the world’s only light rail floating bridge in the middle.
@@keisisqrl I 90 is also the longest interstate in the country at over 3000 miles stretching from Seattle to Boston. My dad drove my car back from Seattle and it took him 3 days of non stop driving to get it back to Albany.
Will you be doing a first look at TSW Train Sim World: Tees Valley Line: Darlington?
Wow, wow, wow, awesome video 👍, you were in my home town, Bellingham. Oh and the fireworks you delivered to Walbert, In real life it is a Fred Meyer, and across the street is a Costco. So you delivered fireworks to Fred Meyer. Also the tall building next to your delivery destination was a hotel!! Oh and the Easter egg in Bellingham, that was a donut shop, it there in real life, it's called "Rocket Doughnuts" you can see it on Google maps, and that is why there was a rocket sculpture, and it's there in real life. Very very neat video, fairly realistic, although in real life a drive from Seattle to Bellingham takes about 2 hrs with traffic. But still, please do more videos in Bellingham.!!!!!;;
Nice uploads, thanks for the consistently quality vids
I just pickup this game 2 weeks ago I luv it good graphics long distance loads
I live in the area and i got confused for a moment, a large section of area was removed, im so used to more stuff being between the Tacoma area you left and when you made it to the Seattle interchange and port. ... Basically the area where i live.
Looks really nice on a good hardware. If I ever get a new pc it will be like suddenly having ats and ets2 sequels.
@A real bisexual petrol-head I play on almost minimal to get good stable framerate. It will still be the same games, but on new hardware with full settings if it will look and run like that, it will be like sequels compared to what I have now.
Can't wait to get this dlc tomorrow.
The ILS thing is the south end of Bellingham International Airport
technically, anytime you see a weigh station in the us you are supposed to pull in unless you have a pass that tells a camera your average weight and speed
The "bay" you keep talking about is call Puget sound
16:45 Yeah Everett's actually a pretty large city. Up and coming.
Your drop off point is Fred meyers, they're similar to Walmart but way better. Oh man I'm stoked to drive Bellingham now
Grant Wadley for some reason SCS put the Fred Meyer where the entrance of the Airport
Since the land is 1/20th the size of real life, getting out and doing all the rest of it takes effectively 20x longer than it should: you can travel 20x more miles in the time you do some pissing about than you would if it were full scale and real life sized. Also the failure would have to be some small multiplier of the damage to your trailer or cab, otherwise you would have you being told to do an illegal transport job.
I live in the Vancouver WA Area, a little below Seattle.
32:44 Make your breakfast great again :))
25 is just generally the speed of traffic from Tacoma to Everett at Everytime of day. Looks like ats got the realism right 😉
I live a couple blocks away from the state street Iowa exit in Bellingham, I know I live in a small town but man I'm bummed it doesn't look right
Grant Wadley I mean the exit looks right but a truck going downtown through
The bay is called the Puget Sound.
