Under RCW 36.28.050, where levied property is claimed by a person other than the defendant, the sheriff may release the levy unless the plaintiff, on demand, indemnifies the sheriff by an undertaking executed by a sufficient surety; and any sheriff or levying officer may require an indemnifying bond of the plaintiff in any case where the officer must take possession of personal property. The amount is set by the demanding office — often about double the property’s value, and the bond must name the sheriff to be indemnified. Confirm the amount with the sheriff’s civil division.
