Supreme Court of Washington, En Banc.

Decided April 3, 2003.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Dominic Bacetich, Everett, for petitioners.

Bret Simmons, Bellingham, for respondents.


SANDERS, J.

The question is whether the filing restrictions of former RCW 4.12.020(3) (1941), amended by Laws of 2001, ch. 45, § 2, limit subject matter jurisdiction as among superior courts or whether the restrictions relate only to the venue where such actions may be tried. We hold RCW 4.12.020 relates only to venue, overruling Aydelotte v. Audette, 110 Wn.2d 249, 253, 750 P.2d 1276
