A Washington State DUI arrest initiates a civil and criminal case. The Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) will suspend or revoke your license, and the request to challenge said license suspension must be done within 7 days (including weekends and holidays) of the arrest or the date notice was given.

The crime of Driving Under the Influence is a Gross Misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of 364 days in jail and a $5,000 fine. While some States do not have a mandatory minimum for the crime of DUI, Washington State has a mandatory minimum sentence of 1 to 120 days depending on your breath test and the amount of prior DUIs.
