Wash. Super. Ct. Civ. Arb. R. 6.4
Costs and Attorney Fees
(a) Request. Any request for costs and attorney fees shall be filed with the arbitrator and
served upon all other parties no later than seven days after receipt of the award. Any party failing
to timely file and serve such a request is deemed to have waived the right to an award of costs
and attorney fees, unless a request for a trial de novo is filed.
(b) Response. Any response to the request for costs and attorney fees shall be filed with
the arbitrator and served upon all other parties within seven days after service of the request.
(c) Hearing. The arbitrator has discretion to hold a hearing on the request for costs and
attorney fees.
(d) Decision. Within 14 days after the service of the request for costs and attorney fees, the
arbitrator shall file an amended award granting the request in whole or in part, or a denial of costs
and attorney fees, with the clerk of the superior court, with proof of service upon each party. If
the arbitrator fails to timely file and serve the amended award or denial and proof of service, a
party may, after notice to the arbitrator, file a motion with the court for an order directing the
arbitrator to do so by a date certain. Late filing shall not invalidate the decision.
