Wash. Super. Ct. Civ. Arb. R. 7.3
Costs and Attorney Fees
The court shall assess costs and reasonable attorney fees against a party who appeals the
award and fails to improve the party's position on the trial de novo. The court may assess costs
and reasonable attorney fees against a party who voluntarily withdraws a request for a trial de
novo. "Costs" means those costs provided for by statute or court rule. Only those costs and
reasonable attorney fees incurred after a request for a trial de novo is filed may be assessed under
this rule.
