The prosecution strictly enforces the State’s tough DUI laws in Port Townsend, Washington. In addition to jail time and license suspension, you may be fined up to $5,000 if you are found guilty of driving under the influence, gross misdemeanor. The court may also require you to attend an alcohol education program or have an ignition interlock device installed in your vehicle. A felony DUI is even more severe, but even for the simple DUI, penalties can harsher than those for certain types of felony crimes.

A DUI conviction can negatively impact your future. A DUI conviction will remain on your criminal history for your lifetime in Washington. A simple background check will reveal a criminal conviction to anyone who checks, such as your auto insurer, your employer, a lender, a landlord, or anyone else.
