Visiting from Tacoma, or sending the papers by mail
20 h 52 min on the road from Tacoma rules out a same-day visit: the Los Angeles consulate takes papers only in the morning, so plan to sleep near Los Angeles.
For e-passport biometrics, its e-passport page gives a longer window that runs into the afternoon; its page here has both versions.
No booking is needed at the Los Angeles consulate, according to its e-passport page.
