Facing a Second DUI Charge after a previous offense reduced 6 years ago in WA State.

I'm 36 and got nabbed for my second DUI by the state patrol. The last incident was 6 years ago, but it got reduced to Neg 1, and I blew a 0.04 , This time, it's more serious, at 0.11 . Right now, I need some guidance on what steps I can take and what consequences I might face, both good and bad. I'm very concerned about messing it up because of this mistake I made. Also the 2 driving infractions for what i was stoped were dismissed at the court for not enough evidence. Is just the dui that is in place.
