[WSBAPT] probate in same county as death?

[Jenna Brozik]

Hello list mates,

Testator died in King County, Seattle, WA.  Personal Representative lives
in Whitman County, WA.  She would like to open the probate in Whitman
County.  RCW 11.20.010 states the will shall be delivered to the court
having jurisdiction.

Does the probate have to be in King County?  Can she file it in Whitman
County?

Thanks in advance,
Jenna Brozik
