SEATTLE HOME APPLIANCE, LLC,

Defendants,

JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.,

Garnishee-Defendant.

16

This matter comes before the Court on plaintiff’s “Application for Judgment on Answer
17

and Order to Pay.” Dkt. # 8. There is no indication in the record that the defendants/judgment
18

debtors were served with the garnishee’s answer. See RCW 6.27.190 (the answer of the
19

garnishee is to be served as directed in the writ); Dkt. # 3 (writ requires garnishee defendant to
20

mail or deliver a copy of the answer to the judgment debtors at the address provided in the writ).
21

The debtors have not had twenty days in which to object to the answer. See RCW 6.27.210 (the
22

judgment creditor and judgment debtor have 20 days in which to controvert the garnishee’s
23

answer). The Court therefore declines to enter judgment on the garnishee’s answer without
24

prejudice to a subsequent request for judgment once the statutory notice requirements are
25

satisfied.
