Wash. Super. Ct. Civ. R. 65

(a) Preliminary Injunction.

(1) Notice. No preliminary injunction shall be issued without notice to the adverse party.

(2) Consolidation of Hearing With Trial on Merits. Before or after the commencement of

the hearing of an application for a preliminary injunction, the court may order the trial of the

action on the merits to be advanced and consolidated with the hearing of the application. Even

when this consolidation is not ordered, any evidence received upon an application for a

preliminary injunction which would be admissible upon the trial on the merits becomes part of

the record on the trial and need not be repeated upon the trial. This subsection shall be so

construed and applied as to save to the parties any rights they may have to trial by jury.

(b) Temporary Restraining Order; Notice; Hearing; Duration. A temporary restraining

order may be granted without written or oral notice to the adverse party or the adverse party’s

attorney only if (1) it clearly appears from specific facts shown by affidavit or by the verified

complaint that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result to the applicant

before the adverse party her or his attorney can be heard in opposition, and (2) the applicant’s

attorney certifies to the court in writing the efforts, if any, which have been made to give the

notice and the reasons supporting the applicant’s claim that notice should not be required. Every

temporary restraining order granted without notice shall be endorsed with the date and hour of

issuance; shall be filed forthwith in the clerk's office and entered of record; shall define the injury

and state why it is irreparable and why the order was granted without notice; and shall expire by

its terms within such time after entry, not to exceed 14 days, as the court fixes, unless within the

time so fixed the order, for good cause shown, is extended for a like period or unless the party

against whom the order is directed consents that it may be extended for a longer period. The

reasons for the extension shall be entered of record. In case a temporary restraining order is

granted without notice, the motion for a preliminary injunction shall be set down for hearing at

the earliest possible time and takes precedence over all matters except older matters of the same

character; and when the motion comes on for hearing the party who obtained the temporary

restraining order shall proceed with the application for a preliminary injunction and, if the party

does not do so, the court shall dissolve the temporary restraining order. On 2 days' notice to the

party who obtained the temporary restraining order without notice or on such shorter notice to

that party as the court may prescribe, the adverse party may appear and move its dissolution or

modification and in that event the court shall proceed to hear and determine such motion as

expeditiously as the ends of justice require.

(c) Security. Except as otherwise provided by statute, no restraining order or preliminary

injunction shall issue except upon the giving of security by the applicant, in such sum as the

court deems proper, for the payment of such costs and damages as may be incurred or suffered by

any party who is found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained. No such security shall be

required of the United States or of an officer or agency thereof or of an Indian tribe within the

State of Washington with a governing body duly recognized by the United States Secretary of

Interior or of an officer or agency thereof. Pursuant to RCW 4.92.080 no security shall be

required of the State of Washington, municipal corporations or political subdivisions of the State

of Washington.

The provisions of rule 65.1 apply to a surety upon a bond or undertaking under this rule.

(d) Form and Scope. Every order granting an injunction and every restraining order shall

set forth the reasons for its issuance; shall be specific in terms; shall describe in reasonable detail,

and not by reference to the complaint or other document, the act or acts sought to be restrained;

and is binding only upon the parties to the action, their officers, agents, servants, employees, and

attorneys, and upon those persons in active concert or participation with them who receive actual

notice of the order by personal service or otherwise.

(e) Statutes. These rules are intended to supplement and not to modify any statute

prescribing the basis for obtaining injunctive relief. These rules shall prevail over statutes if there

are procedural conflicts.
