(1) Within fourteen days of receipt of a written request from the lien debtor, or other person who provides the lienholder authorization from the lien debtor for such statement, the lienholder shall provide that person a statement described in subsection (2) of this section. Failure timely to provide the statement shall cause the lienholder to be liable to the person requesting for the attorneys' fees and costs incurred by that person to obtain the statement, together with damages incurred by that person due to the failure of the lienholder to provide the statement, including in the case of the lien debtor any loss resulting from the lien debtor's inability to obtain financing, or the increased costs thereof.
(2) The statement shall be in writing, authenticated by the claimant, and shall contain in substance the following information:
(a) The name and address of the claimant;
(b) The name and address of the debtor;
(c) The date of commencement of performance for which the lien is claimed;
(d) A description of the labor services, materials, or supplies furnished;
(e) A description of the crop and its location to be charged with the lien sufficient for identification; and
(f) The signature of the claimant.
(3) The statement need not be filed with the department of licensing.

A financing statement for a landlord lien covering a lease term longer than five years may be continued in accordance with *RCW 62A.9A-515(4). A landlord who has a right to a share of the crop may place suppliers on notice by filing a financing statement in the same manner as provided for filing a financing statement for a landlord's lien.
