Lien Law Decision in Olympia Tests Washington Mechanics Act
In Thurston county Washington a lien case involving C C Clark as plaintiff against T J McKenny and wife centers on a Portland supplier Lansing Baymer whose materials and labor were used to construct the McKenny block in Olympia. The judge sustains the demurrer, ruling the Washington mechanic's lien law cannot bind nonresident owners or permit cross state claims, and that the lien notice lacks separate itemization of materials and labor. The decision emphasizes the local scope of the lien statute and the need for explicit, within state application.
