Anyone who has had the pleasure of visiting the Beaverton DMV office on Allen Blvd can attest to its cramped quarters. Lines can spill out into the sidewalk. The waiting area is frequently filled to capacity. Parking spaces are at a premium. Things have been so tight, the twenty year old building had to stop offering driving tests in 2000 because the parking lot was too full.
No more!
Staff members are packing up their clipboards, driving manuals and testing computers and moving to a brand new, massive space in Cedar Hills (located here).
Not only does the new facility offer more space in general, the DMV will finally be able to offer driving tests at the west side facility once again. Plus, the new site is ready to handle more customers if the area continues to grow (although staff don’t expect to see a jump any time soon).
