My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Washington

I recently received a notice of infraction from the city of Bellevue for making a right turn on red without coming to a complete stop beforehand.
I know that this infraction is treated as a parking ticket and will not go on my driving record(because they don't know who was driving), however, I'm wondering If I go to a mitigation hearing and I present the circumstances, including that I was driving the car, could they put this on my driving record(because I admitted it was me who committed the violation)?
Is this legal, not legal or gray area ? Have you ever heard about this being done ?

Also, are there any other possible negative consequences of going to a mitigation hearing instead of paying the ticket as-is ?

Thanks!
