Thanks for the analysis. On a construction lien even if not required, but because of RCW 60.04.141 I would file a Lis Pendens to put the world on notice that the lien is being foreclosed. As for the bond in this case, I have seen Defendants request the judge to release the Lis Pendens by posting a bond in the case as security for the release and recording a notice that the lien has been ?bonded off?.<br>
