Can a lawyer seize your car and personal property to satisfy a civil judgment in the state of Washington?
In Washington, a lawyer cannot personally seize your car and personal property to satisfy a civil judgment. Typically, a lawyer would need to obtain a court order authorizing a law enforcement officer or a constable to seize and sell your property to satisfy the judgment.

How do you collect on a judgment when defendant lives out of state?
File a "foreign judgment" against the real property owned by the judgment debtor. This is done by contacting the tax assessor/land office in the county where the debtor resides. If the debtor does not have real property that can be encumbered by a lien, the judgment holder will need to secure a domestic judgment (requires another suit) from the state court in the county where the debtor resides to seize personal property or garnish wages for the repayment of the debt.

What can collection agencies seize?
State laws determine the property that can be excempt from a judgment creditor. Generally it will be the same property which is considered exempt during bankruptcy with a few exceptions. The major exception would be the homestead exemption amount and/or the ability for a judgment creditor to force the sale of a primary residence. Another issue that could impact the judgment execution against any property is whether the debt applies to married couples who are not co-debtors and do not live in a community property state. The majority of judgment creditors prefer the use of wage garnishment when executing the judgment writ. In lieu of that the second choice is usually bank account levy.

If you live in a common law state, and the state has maintained "tenants by the entireities" as the form in which married persons hold property, then the property is, in all likelihood, free from the lien of the judgment.
What happens when a creditor files a judgment against you?
The judgment can be executed according to the laws of the debtor's state. The preferred method is wage garnishment or bank account levy.

In very rare instances the judgment creditor can petition the court for a forced sale of a primary residence. That being the case, a homeowner should be aware of the status of the homestead exemption for their state of residency.
