Huh? How exactly does the State of Washington "attach" or "put out of business" a business in another State?

Perhaps they do it like many other authoritative government agencies get away with it...they "do it" and it is up to you to reverse their decision in court. If you can't afford to defend yourself against the resources of the government, you lose. It isn't always about right and wrong.

They put a Tax Lien on all their assets, leaving them with no access to bank accounts and/or trade financing. This was published in the state legal publications making an effect similar to sending out a notice that they have Leprosy.

Wow!!!! That truly sucks!

How does the state of Washington have any legal basis to do that to a resident of another state without going through a formal process sort of equivalent to an extradition procedure? IANAL, but IMO, this is certainly a prime example of gov't theft under color of law.
