Re: attaching a levy to an out of state bank
Do you mean garnishing the debtor's bank account?
First start with CHAPTER 6.36 RCW The UNIFORM ENFORCEMENT OF FOREIGN JUDGMENTS ACThttp://www.leg.wa.gov/pub/rcw/title_06/chapter_036/. (All ot Title 6 is Enforcement of Judgments http://www.leg.wa.gov/pub/rcw/title_06/)
Second garnish the bank account. See CHAPTER 6.27 RCW at http://www.leg.wa.gov/pub/rcw/title_06/chapter_027/. Especially RCW 6.27.080 Writ directed to financial institution at http://www.leg.wa.gov/pub/rcw/title_06/chapter_027/rcw_6_27_080.txt.
