[WSBARP] Jefferson County Auditor Demanding REETA to Record Transfer on Death Deed

The Jefferson County Auditor continues to lead the State as the ultimate
gate keeper for recording deeds.  It just kicked back a Transfer on Death
Deed claiming it requires a REETA and, of course, $10.  Am I missing
something?  WAC 458-61A-303(3)(j) specifically exempts a TOD recording from
the REETA requirement, which, not surprisingly, in 303(2)(m), requires the
REETA to perfect the transfer following the Transferor's death.  What should
one do, just pay the blood money and be done with it?
