Per statute,

No license to operate motor vehicles in Washington shall be issued to an habitual offender

(1) for a period of seven years from the date of the license revocation except as provided in RCW 46.65.080, and

(2) until the privilege of such person to operate a motor vehicle in this state has been restored by the department of licensing as provided in this chapter.

At the end of four years, the habitual offender may petition the department of licensing for the return of his or her operator's license and upon good and sufficient showing, the department of licensing may, wholly or conditionally, reinstate the privilege of such person to operate a motor vehicle in this state.
