Starting Aug. 1, most motorcycle riders seeking an endorsement to ride legally in Washington will begin taking motorcycle knowledge and skills tests at approved motorcycle training schools across the state.

In Clallam County, contact Peninsula Motorcycle Rider Education, PO Box 4021, Sequim, WA 98382 or 681-2058. See the website at www.pmre.net.

After passing the tests, customers will go to a licensing office to obtain their motorcycle endorsement. The cost of a motorcycle endorsement will remain at $25; however, motorcycle training schools will set the fee they charge for the tests.
