Compromise of disdemeanor

Hi, I am 19 years old with a clean record. I shoplifted $64 worth of merchanises... I paid the civil demand to the company already. So I was wondering since I already paid the civil demand can I still get a ''compromise of disdemeanor with the prosecutor (the seattle city attorney)? If i can, what are the chances it will go through?
