Kung Fu Driving School is a DOL-approved knowledge-test and road-test center in North Seattle, about 14 miles (a 25–30 minute drive) from Kirkland. Our instructors are bilingual in Chinese and English — a convenient option for Kirkland's tech workers (including Google's Kirkland campus) and families who want the whole license process with Chinese-language help.
Why Kirkland students choose us
Take both the Washington knowledge test and the road (skills) test at our own DOL-approved center — no separate booking at a crowded state office.
The knowledge test can be taken in Chinese, with Chinese-language help through booking and the road test.
Same-day and weekend road tests are available — handy if you're busy with work in Kirkland during the week.
A 1-hour pre-test warm-up on the real route fixes exactly what examiners deduct for, so many students pass on the first try.
