10 We reject Western Plaza's attempts to harmonize the statutes. Western Plaza asserts that
the writing expressly required in all leases by RCW 59.20.060(1) does not establish an
irreconcilable conflict with RCW 64.04.01 O's requirement for greater formality in longer term
leases. However, RCW 64.04.010 requires the same formality for every conveyance
regardless of length; these formalities include writing and acknowledgement. RCW
64.01.01 0, .020. Additionally, even RCW 59.04.010 explicitly requires a writing for every
lease; leases governed by that statute that last for over one year also require
acknowledgement. The requirement of a writing always exists; Western Plaza's reading
would render RCW 59.20.060(1) superfluous. 10
