Just contacted local FSDO and they said they can do it in 3 weeks.
Not bad.. and cheaper. The local DAR lives in the south till
April and is not available anyway.

What is the current status of FAA airworthiness inspection availability.
Is there a long wait? Is a DAR a better alternative or hard to find?

Please comment it you have some current/recent experience.

Appears to vary. One of the guys in my local chapter had absolutely no
trouble at all getting FAA guys to do it.

Two things that this may attributed to. First, the Seattle FSDO has a lot
of inspectors (they handle Boeing). Second, this time of year is
apparently their quiet time.
