RULE 2.1
          METHODS FOR SEEKING REVIEW OF TRIAL COURT
                     DECISION--GENERALLY

    (a) Two Methods for Seeking Review of Superior Court Decisions. The
only methods for seeking review of decisions of the superior court by the
Court of Appeals and by the Supreme Court are the two methods provided by
these rules. The two methods are:
    (1) Review as a matter of right, called "appeal"; and
    (2) Review by permission of the reviewing court, called "discretionary
review." Both "appeal" and "discretionary review" are called "review." The
term "decision" refers to rulings, orders, and judgments of the trial
court, or the appellate court, as the context indicates.
    (b) Writ Procedure Superseded. The procedure for seeking review of
trial court decisions established by these rules supersedes the review
procedure formerly available by extraordinary writs of review, certiorari,
mandamus, prohibition, and other writs formerly considered necessary and
proper to the complete exercise of appellate and revisory jurisdiction of
the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals. Original writs in the appellate
court are not superseded and are governed by Title 16.
    (c) Method for Seeking Direct Review of Final Decision of
Administrative Agency. The procedure for seeking direct review by the Court
of Appeals of a final order in an administrative adjudicative proceeding is
defined by RCW 34.05.518 and RCW 34.05.522.
    (d) Method for Seeking Review of Decisions of Courts of Limited
Jurisdiction.  The only method for seeking direct review by the Supreme
Court of a decision of a court of limited jurisdiction, without first
obtaining a Superior Court decision under the RALJ, is by notice of appeal
as provided for in Rule 4.3
