You will need an ignition interlock device if you are convicted of DUI or enter into the Deferred Prosecution program. You will also need an IID if you have a prior DUI arrest - and such a requirement starts immediately following your first court appearance in Whatcom County.
It is imperative you talk to your Bellingham attorney before having an alcohol evaluation. I cannot emphasize this enough. You can find more information on our alcohol | drug evaluation page. In this mean time the following is a list of treatment providers which we recommend where you can obtain an alcohol | drug evaluation and, if necessary complete treatment or the ADIS class.
