No, white blood cells are not eukaryotes.

Eukaryotes are organisms that have eukaryotic cells. People are eukaryotes, with many millions of eukaryotic cells.

Blood cells are eukaryotic. Confusion may arise because in humans, the red blood cell loses its nucleus in the final stages of maturation. However, it is still a cell derived from a lineage of cells that contained nuclei. In contrast, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus at any point in their life cycle.

Another important point to recognize is that all prokaryotic cells are unicellular organisms. The function of blood is to move nutrients and waste products through the tissue of an organism that is large enough that it could not rely solely upon diffusion to meet the needs of its cells. Thus, blood (and by extension, blood cells) only exists within multicellular organisms, all of which are eukaryotic.
