Thanks for this info. Thursday nights aren't convenient for me so that's what I'll do. Although, last thing I want is to get on the Sheriff's bad side...this is a small community. but hey I didn't write the law, right! And he's paid to enforce it.

Interesting that they make their own rules so as not to be bothered.

thanks again.

Anyone know average wait time to apply at the downtown Seattle office? My fiancée works in the area, and was thinking about going on a lunch break, but I'm worried the wait times are going to be way more than an hour (plus 15 mins to walk back and forth to work)

Does she live in the Area as well? Because you are supposed to go to the municipality you live in. If you are in the greater county area, Sheriff, in the town proper, PD.

We live in Unincorporated King, so she's going to go to the King County office downtown. I was just curious to know if anyone had any recent experience there, what to expect, etc. Thanks!

I was just there 2 weeks ago. The office opens at 0830 sharp, be there 20 minutes early with your application filled out and in your hand. It took myself and my brother about 30 minutes total from walking in to walking out, just in time for me goddamn meter to expire. I say have the application in hand is because there will probably be one or two other people, and both of the others when I was there hadn't filled them out. So I and my brother, were first in line.

I got my New (mine was expired for too long) CPL from Kirkland PD in 5 business days. Did fingerprinting on Saturday got it today (Friday).
