You appear to be a landlord. In the State of Washington you are a landlord if: You accept money, and you supply a key to enter the premises. This does NOT require a written contract. If you are subletting (a bedroom, lets say) you are a landlord in the eyes of the Landlord Tenant Law. You BETTER read that law (or have someone read it to you). Your thee day notice is good fire starter. You better go ask the District Court clerk for the real eviction packet or YOU may end up in jail.... contested evictions can take 3-6 months. Be prepared to argue your case with the tenant present at a hearing in front of a District Court Judge.

Check with the sheriff's office. Bottom line is, if they won't do it, it won't get done.
In most states, court papers must be filled out before any law or court officer will intervene.

Unfortunately that is just the first in the eviction process. You will now need an attorney to file a unlawful retainer order, then an order of eviction.

Yes, but the sheriffs have their own process of notification, so don't expect immediate results.
