Wendy Pedersen seeks review of the superior court's dismissal of her appeal of her license revocation. She contends the court erred in dismissing her appeal under RCW 46.20.385(1 )(b) ("A person receiving an ignition interlock driver's license waives his or her right to a hearing or appeal") because the statute violates principles of due process and equal protection.
