          RCW 59.18.280(2) states:
                If the landlord fails to give the statement and any documentation required
       by subsection (1) of this section together with any refund due the tenant within
       the time limits specified in subsection (1) of this section he or she shall be liable
       to the tenant for the full amount of the deposit. The landlord is also barred in any
       action brought by the tenant to recover the deposit from asserting any claim or
       raising any defense for retaining any of the deposit unless the landlord shows
       that circumstances beyond the landlord’s control prevented the landlord from
       providing the statement and any documentation within the 30 days or that the
       tenant abandoned the premises as defined in RCW 59.18.310. The court may in
       its discretion award up to two times the amount of the deposit for the intentional
       refusal of the landlord to give the statement, documentation, or refund due unless
       the landlord shows that circumstances beyond the landlord’s control prevented
       the landlord from providing the statement and any such documentation within 30
       days or that the tenant abandoned the premises as described in RCW 59.18.310.
