Driver licensing offices | Washington State Department of Licensing
You don’t need an appointment to visit a driver licensing office unless you are taking a drive or knowledge test to get your license, but we strongly encourage you to make one. There may be a long wait to walk in, and if the office is at capacity, you may be asked to go to another office or try back another time.

Trying to get an appointment with the DOL for driver's license exchange
I’d suggest going outside your radius. I had to get a new license last year during lockdown and I had to be willing to drive quite a ways away in order to get an appointment. More on reddit.com

Is there any DOL with availability for an enhanced ID?
Try walking in to your nearest DOL? I’m in eastern WA and my local DOL showed no appointments, but I got in and out in reasonable (for DOL) time. Granted, this was a few months ago, so maybe there’s a rush of other folks getting new IDs now. You might wait a while but probably less time than a round trip across the state. More on reddit.com

r/Washington on Reddit: Trying to get an appointment with the DOL for driver's license exchange
August 6, 2021 -

Hi everyone! I've recently moved to WA from the east coast and I'm trying to convert my existing driver's license to a WA one (current one is not Real ID and I'm trying to get one that is, if that matters--I have a passport, SSN and all that). I've done the pre-application on the DOL website but when I try to sign up for an appointment, there is no availability ANYWHERE within my radius. It doesn't tell me when to check back or anything. Any tips for getting one? Many thanks in advance. :)

Edit: I'm in the Seattle metro area.

Edit 2: Thank you for all your advice, everyone! I got an appointment for next week at the nearest location by constantly checking the website for new openings!
