The DUI process in the City of Seattle is unique.  Special "DUI Squad" police officers, first court court appearances with 24-72 hours, very restrictive release conditions, individual judicial case calendaring, highly experienced DUI prosecutors, an active probation department and the largest municipal DUI case load in Washington State make the Seattle Municipal Court DUI experience a challenging one. To the left you will find links that help describe each stage of this process and how it differs within the City of Seattle compare to other jurisdictions.
