According to the Washington State Department of Licensing, there are several factors that are involved when determining whether you can get your license back (i.e. previous DUI's).

Your suspension letter states what you need to do to get your license back. If one of the things you need to do is pay your fines, then you  probably need to pay those before your license can be reinstated. For more information, see Washington's website:  http://www.dol.wa.gov/driverslicense/suspended.html.
