No. 60448-5-II

[T]he Court will not be entering an order on outstanding rent today. This matter
will—today was on a writ of restitution. And the matter can continue to be pursued
with regard to outstanding rent.

VRP (July 8, 2024) at 35. The superior court reiterated it was reserving “the principal judgment

amount,” and “any issue as it relates to rent.” VRP (July 8, 2024) at 38.

The superior court then addressed the Egberts’ declaration on attorney fees related to the

Writ. The Jorgensens objected to the amount of the request, arguing that the Egberts’ attorney

“[was] charging attorney rates for administrative-type activities.” VRP (July 8, 2024) at 36. The

Egberts agreed to reduce the originally requested amount by $2,000. The Jorgensens’ counsel

made no further objection.

[Egberts’ Counsel]: You can strike the whole amount by $2,000.
[Superior Court]: So take the 12,930 and subtract 2,000, is that what your
suggestion is?
[Egberts’ Counsel]: That’s my suggestion to keep it simple, and it actually benefits
the tenants.
[Superior Court]: Anything further, Mr. Bowers?
[Jorgensens’ Counsel]: No, Your Honor.

VRP (July 8, 2024) at 37. The parties, including the Jorgensens’ counsel, reviewed and signed the

superior court’s changes to the proposed order.
