[WSBARP] Question on Judgment

[Gregory L. Gilday]

I'd appreciate anybody's take on this:

RCW 6.17.020 in part states, "If a district court judgment of this state 
is transcribed to a superior court of this state, the original district 
court judgment shall not be extended and any petition under this section 
to extend the judgment that has been transcribed to superior court shall 
be filed in the superior court within ninety days before the expiration 
of the ten-year period of the date the transcript of the district court 
judgment was filed in the superior court of this state."

Does this mean transcribing a district court judgment to the Superior 
Court automatically starts the 10 years over?  Then, if they file within 
90 days of the 10 year mark of transcribing to the Superior Court, they 
can extend it for another 10 years, essentially making the original 
district court judgement stick around for up to 30 years?  Seems odd a 
creditor could keep a District Court judgement around longer than a 
Superior Court judgment.

Thank you all in advance,
