C. A civil violation is a public nuisance and is subject to abatement under this Title, RCW Chapter 7.48, and RCW Chapter 9.66.

D. Per RCW 7.48.260, any court or magistrate before whom any proceeding for a civil violation is pending may order such nuisance abated, in addition to any fine or other punishment that it may impose for such violation, and all property unlawfully used in the maintenance thereof destroyed by the sheriff at the cost of the defendant, except that if the conviction was in a district court, the district court judge may not issue the order and warrant of abatement, but on application must transfer the cause to the superior court to try the issue of abatement in the same manner as if the action had been originally commenced therein.
