<div dir="ltr">In my experience, the court has justified granting the $200 under 4.84.080 because it's a "statutory cost." Sometimes it's granted and sometimes it is not. Depends on the mood of the day and the Commissioner. It's never worth fighting over as long as Plaintiff gets the writ. Just make sure Plaintiff's order identifies it as pursuant to 4.84.080; otherwise, there have been issues when the judgment is later vacated and <i>then </i>the attorney wants their "real attorneys fees" later.<div><br></div><div>Kaitlyn<br><p class="ri_default_signature"><i>Sent with <a href="https://www.rightinbox.com/?utm_source=signature" style="color:#a0d469">Right Inbox</a></i></p><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Feb 1, 2023 at 1:55 PM Paul Neumiller <<a href="mailto:pneumiller@hotmail.com">pneumiller@hotmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg4206446135317519937">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">RCW 4.84.080 says “<span style="background:yellow">When allowed to either party</span>, costs to be called the attorney fee, shall be as follows: (1)
In all actions where judgment is rendered, two hundred dollars.” And RCW 4.84.010 says “The measure and mode of compensation of attorneys and counselors, shall be left to the agreement, expressed or implied, of the parties, but there shall be allowed to the
prevailing party upon the judgment certain sums for the prevailing party's expenses in the action, which allowances are termed costs, including, in addition to costs otherwise authorized by law, the following expenses:….(6) Statutory attorney and witness fees”<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">AND RCW 59.18.290 says “….Where the court has entered a judgment in favor of the landlord restoring possession of the property to the landlord, the court may award reasonable

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I was at a Show Cause Hearing and the tenant was a no show. As I’m walking the judge through the proposed orders and filling in the blanks, I state that the LL is not seeking
atty fees because, under RCW59.18.290, the LL is not entitled to atty fees if the tenant is a no show. Then the judge said, “well you might not be entitled to reasonable attorney fees under this section but you can still request statutory attorney fees?”
Huh?? My client was only interested in the Writ so I answered that the LL was waiving ALL atty fees and we moved on. Anyone have any guess what the judge was talking about? Are there “statutory attorney fees” in an unlawful detainer other than RCW 59.18.290
and .410?!?! <u></u><u></u></span></p>
