I'm incredibly embarrassed to admit that I don't have a driver's license, only a passport, and since I'm in the States, that means I can't use Coinbase.
Can anyone suggest an easy alternative to Coinbase with that in mind? I do have a passport, not sure if any exchanges will accept them.

Perhaps try speaking to coinbase support, and see if there's a way to signup via your passport.
There should be since not everyone drives....
LocalBitcoins or LocalCoinSwap might be an alternative, although not as straightforward as coinbase.
I believe LocalCoinSwap should not require any ID to be uploaded, although I haven't looked into it much (so I could be wrong).
LocalCoinSwap might actually be a good option in terms of being more anonymous, although it would require more time and effort than using coinbase.
It seems if you don't have a "state issued" photo id (eg driving licence / passport), then you may still be able to buy bitcoin by signing up to "paxful"
