Parsell doesn't run the sale. Every listing links to the county's sale page or the auction platform, where you register and bid.

Washington rules in brief

Washington sells the land itself. When taxes are three years delinquent, the county treasurer takes the parcel through Superior Court and sells it at a tax foreclosure auction, usually once a year. Parcels nobody bids on become county tax-title land, which the county can sell directly.
