Are you required to send a prelim notice for work completed in Washington state if you only supplied labor?

WashingtonPreliminary Notice
Anonymous Contractor

We are a staffing agency and we had technicians that worked on a PW school site in Washington. Are we required to send preliminary notices for this site?

For Washington public projects, preliminary notices will only be required for those who have been hired by someone other than the project's direct contractor. So, if your customer is the direct contractor, notice generally won't be required. For all other parties, preliminary notice should typically be sent. However, if you're only providing labor to the project, then preliminary notice is generally not required. That's true for both public and private projects. Further discussion on WA preliminary notices, here: Washington Preliminary Notice FAQs. With that being said, there are a variety of benefits for sending preliminary notice, regardless of what's required. Levelset discusses that here: Why You Should Send Preliminary Notice Even If It’s Not Required.
