who furnish labor and materials or rent or supply equipment to the Principal, and (4) taxes and contributions

due to the State of Washington, the obligation of the Principal and the Surety shall be null and void. If the

work was done, or of any county in which the court has jurisdiction over the Principal. The suit must be

brought within the time and the manner required by RCW 18.27.040.

increase the liability of the Surety. If the claims against the bond that are pending at any one time exceed the
