¶7 Pursuant to RCW 2.24.050, Landlords moved the superior court to revise the commissioner’s ruling. On September 2, 2014, the court held a hearing on Landlords’ motion. Tenants contended that Landlords had not met their burden of proving that just cause exists because Landlords submitted only the sworn certification of intent. Tenants requested that they be able to engage in more fact-finding, such as requiring declarations, depositions, or interrogatories. The court granted Landlords’ motion to revise, issued a writ of restitution, and struck the trial date. In so doing, the court stated, “[A]s I read [SMC] 22.206.160, it ends with this statement under penalty of perjury.... [T]he statutory scheme does not require or even permit a trial once we have this statement under penalty of perjury.” VTP (Sept. 2, 2014) at 22-23 (referring to SMC *31322.206.160(C)(4)). The superior court subsequently entered judgment against Tenants, awarded Landlords attorney fees and costs, and denied Tenants’ motion for reconsideration.
