Understanding DUI in Washington

Washington, you can be arrested for DUI if any of the following is true:

  • Your blood alcohol level or BAC is .08 or higher
  • The amount of marijuana in your system or blood THC is 5.0 ng/millimeter or higher
  • You are clearly under the influence or affected by an intoxicating substance
  • You are clearly under the influence or affected by a combination of drugs and alcohol

As long as the medication, whether a prescription or over-the-counter drug, affects your physical and mental control, you could still be arrested for DUI. Typical DUI penalties include fines, suspension of your driver’s license, community service, jail time, and installing an interlock device.
