How can I get paid if a preliminary lien notice was not served on time?

WashingtonLien Deadlines

I was hired by a general contractor to started a home improvement job. I had maybe 10 to 12 previous projects with this general and always received payment. Then the general contractor hired a new project manager. And thats when the problems started. Then the general moves her business to another location and it becomes difficult to get in touch with them. long story short, the first three projects i installed for this general had severe mis managment issues, I wasnt paid for upgrades there client made on the first job, the second job i had to contact there client to find out if they had paid for my services then confront the general about payment and by that time it was already too late to file the preliminary lien notice on the third job to hich i am still owed over 4000 for the bid price plus extras. I have since filed the proper notices although the prelim was not done in the proper time line. I am all legit with the state of Washington license bond insured. What if anything can I do now to collect whats owed.
