1Opinion of the CourtEllington, J.
f 1 — This case involves the professional services lien statute. Zervas Group Architects PS provided services to a developer, which later obtained financing from Whidbey Island Bank (Bank). The Bank secured its loans with deeds of trust. The developer later defaulted on both obligations, and Zervas filed a lien for professional services and sought to foreclose. The trial court ruled that Zervas’s lien had priority over the Bank’s deeds of trust under RCW 60.04.061 and RCW 60.04.031(5).
¶2 Because the Bank had notice of the professional services, we agree and affirm.
