Writ expirations in WA state

I'm hoping someone out there can help me with this question. I'm in WA
state and have a question about the expiration of a Writ of Garnishment
(Continuing lien on earnings). I've scoured the RCWs and and CRs and
can't find anything that refers to an expiration time period for the
Writ of Garnishment itself. I understand that once it's served on the
garnishee that it's only good for so long and after that period a new
Writ must be applied for with the clerk and then re-served on the
garnishee but that's not what I'm looking for. What I'm looking for is
something that states how long the Plaintiff has to act before the Writ
itself is no longer valid. It would seem that it would be prudent for
said Plaintiff to act immediately but what if he/she doesn't? Is the
writ still valid and legally capable of being served on a garnishee
say.. a year later.. 10 years later?? Any help you can provide will be
much appreciated.
