Will a DV from when I was 16 prevent me from being a teacher? WA state

Posting here to reach as many people in the education genre as I can. I have a criminal background question for becoming a teacher. I am interested in pursuing paraeducating/ tutoring/ eventually teaching. I have an AAS in human services, a BA and BSc with emphasis in ecology, enviro science. I would love to teach kids science, math, and PE. My issue is I have a domestic violence charge from when I was 16, I am 31 now. My juvenile record is sealed, however, federal background checks still show the DV. It was deferred to an assault 4, but still shows as a DV. I have asked 2 different attorneys for assistance to no avail. I like in Washington state if that helps as well. I’ve researched this a ton but trying to get advice or insight from those in the field already. Any help is appreciated! Thank you all 😊
