Seattle Contractors: Don't Let The 60 days Rule Cost You Your Paycheck.
If you are working on a project in Seattle, WA, the clock is ticking. You must file your Notice of Right to Claim Lien within 60 days of first furnishing labor or materials (or 10 days for single-family residential remodels). Miss it, and you forfeit your statutory lien rights for the entire project. Don't float the GC for free.
