What are some Jail alternatives for my DUI conviction?

In the Seattle Metro Area there are several Jails where to serve your DUI Jail time. These Jails tend to be more comfortable than the County Jails, albeit, you have to pay for the privilege to serve your time. Remember, the Judge must specifically authorize another Jail at sentencing. Otherwise, you have will have to serve your time at the King County Jail. (this is not an exhaustive list and is subject to change)
