Seattle streets are, in fact, pretty rough. Literally.

After a particularly rough winter, many of Seattle's streets are riddle with potholes and the city has taken on a new effort to get them fixed up and smooth out the lives of the city's commuters.

The Seattle Department of Transportation last week began what it is calling "Pothole Palooza," an aggressive effort to patch an oversized spring bloom of suspension rattling pockmarks in city pavement.

But even before the "Palooza" began, SDOT crews were working at tackling the broken-down streets. According to figures reported online, SDOT crews repaired 6,077 potholes in March, fulfilling 1,211 pothole repair requests.

SDOT also maintains a pothole status map online that shows both pending and closed repair projects.

We pulled the data on all potholes across the city for the last year and found that a LOT of potholes have been filled.

The data set included listings for more than 40,000 work orders dating back far more than just a year (some listings went back to 2011). Some work orders represented as many as 84 potholes repaired, while many listed zero (a point we have sought clarification on).

Some of the worst streets were in South and West Seattle, but by no means were pothole repairs limited to those areas. Work orders listed points all across the city, according to the data.

We ranked the top streets by number of work orders created and also included the number of potholes repaired in the last 90 days for each street. The numbers might surprise you — unless you drive on one of the streets listed, in which case you'll probably just nod in agreement.
