Wash. Admin. Code § 308-102-100
Pursuant to WAC 10-08-230, regarding informal settlements, any person notified of the requirement of depositing security and suspension for failure to deposit security under the Financial Responsibility Act, chapter 46.29 RCW, may within 15 days of the date of the notice of intent to suspend his, her, or their driver's license or nonresident privilege to drive request an interview before a presiding officer. The request must be written.
Upon receipt of a timely request for interview, the suspension shall be stayed pending the outcome of the document review or interview.
If the person does not request an interview within the time specified above, or fails to attend an interview scheduled at the person's request, said person shall have waived his, her, or their right to any further administrative remedies, including the formal hearing, and the suspension of the person's driver's license or driving privilege shall become effective. If the person shows good cause as to why they failed to appear, the default may be vacated.
