Is a Canadian driver's license acceptable photo ID at an American passport office?

Is a Canadian driver's license acceptable photo ID at an American passport office? - Image of old building on American banknote

I'm going to the Seattle passport office to replace my lost US passport. The passport application form says I need to bring photo ID. (This is proof of identity for the passport, not security for entering the building.) But I live in Canada, and the only photo ID I have available is my Canadian driver's license. Will the American passport office accept a Canadian driver's license as photo ID?

All the instructions I've found just say "driver's license," without specifying if they need to be issued by a US state.

I also have a photocopy of my missing passport, several credit cards, library card, gym card, etc. — will having that make the passport officer more likely to accept my foreign ID.
