How Washington tax sales work
Washington has no investor lien: the county (or another government office) sells the property itself, and the buyer generally takes title once the sale is final, subject to the state's rules on confirmation and any remaining redemption rights.
How the auction is won: Highest bid, minimum = amounts due. Redemption period: Until the day of sale (3 years delinquent).
