A Washington UCC Financing Statement is a document that provides a public record of secured transactions involving personal property (as opposed to real property). It is used to perfect a security interest with the Washington Secretary of State. It is typically filed when a lender provides financing to a borrower and the borrower is using personal property as collateral. There are two types of Washington UCC Financing Statements: the UCC-1 and the UCC-3. The UCC-1 is used to create a lien on the borrower's personal property, while the UCC-3 is used to amend, terminate, or release a previously filed UCC-1.
