The license plates were not recognizable, they looked like British Columbia Plates but had an American flag. When they finally showed a plate close up (the car outside Larry's house that had the yellow scratches on it,) the production staff used an old hack that was used in 21 Jump Street. The movie was set in Seattle, but filmed in British Columbia. They took the "Beautiful British Columbia" license plates from real life and covered the BC flag with a patch of an American flag and covered the words British Columbia with the words Evergreen State (for Washington) and created a fake Washington plate utilizing an altered BC plate.
