For future reference, if you ever have issues reaching Washington ESD again, I had success with Claimyr. It's a service that helps you get through to an actual person instead of sitting on hold forever. Really saved me when I had a payment issue.
The value is definitely worth it when you're stuck in a situation where you can't get through. Check out their website at claimyr.com for more details.
Don't forget that even after approval, you need to keep certifying your eligibility every week. Miss too many weekly claims and they might close your claim entirely.
Last thing - be completely honest about everything. ESD will find out if you lie about wages, work history, or reason for leaving jobs. It's better to have a delayed claim than a fraud investigation.

One last thing about getting help - if you do run into problems with Washington ESD and can't reach them by phone, Claimyr has been a lifesaver for a lot of people. They help you actually get through to a human being when you need answers.

You should be all set with regular UI. File online, keep up with your weekly claims, do your job searches, and you'll get through this fine. Washington ESD's system works for most people despite all the complaints you hear.
