(a)"Possessory lien." In this section, "possessory lien" means an interest, other than a security interest or an agricultural lien:
(1)Which secures payment or performance of an obligation for services or materials furnished with respect to goods by a person in the ordinary course of the person's business;
(2)Which is created by statute or rule of law in favor of the person; and
(3)Whose effectiveness depends on the person's possession of the goods.
(b)Priority of possessory lien. A possessory lien on goods has priority over a security interest in the goods only if the lien is created by a statute that expressly so provides.
(c)A preparer lien or processor lien properly created pursuant to chapter 60.13 RCW or a depositor's lien created pursuant to chapter 22.09 RCW takes priority over any perfected or unperfected security interest.
