What Is Underage DUI in Washington?
Under 21 DUI Consequences

It applies to any individual below the age of 21 who operates a motor vehicle with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.02% or higher, a limit significantly lower than the 0.08% for individuals who are aged 21 or over. The aim is to discourage underage drinking and driving, which carries significant inherent dangers.
