[WSBARP] Writ of Assistance vs Writ of Restitution?

[Eric Nelsen]

Is there a legal or practical difference between a "writ of assistance" to recover possession of real property, and a "writ of restitution" to recover possession of real property? The tenancy statutes refer to writ of restitution, many old cases refer to writ of assistance, and I've seen both in use but it's not clear to me if the sheriff cares which one is used.

Sincerely,

Eric
