Airports and border officials scan passports so it's not a question of someone being lazy and not noticing, it will beep to their attention if there is an issue.
How far do you live from Washington? Could just go to the Canadian Embassy there. I just got a new passport from the Consulate in Sydney and it took three weeks or less, I would imagine it would take even less time in Washington.
