Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

Is it's possible to "change venue" from state to state? My spouse is facing a DUI in Illinois but we are residents of Washington State. Come next week I should have "technical" guardianship over her. She was already facing a felony charge in Illinois. This is a mental health issue not a criminal issue.
