Subject: [WSBARP] Service on State Agencies

Can anyone point me toward the authority for service of process on a state agency?  (DSHS, Labor and Industries, Department of Revenue)

To foreclose a mortgage on a property subject to, for instance, a DSHS lien, I believe you serve the Attorney General, but I cannot locate the authority.

Any help would be appreciated.
