<p class="MsoNormal">My experience is limited to Pierce, Mason, Thurston and Lewis counties. However, I’ve never had an issue getting show cause hearings scheduled prior to service of summons and complaint.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve certainly run into service difficulties after the order to show cause is entered and had to file amended summons/obtain new orders to show cause in order to make sure I met the statutory service timelines—but I have never been required
to show service of summons and complaint prior to entry of the order to show cause. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">59.18.370 says the application for an order to show cause can be made at the time of commencing an action…upon
<b><u>filing</u></b> the complaint. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It goes on to say: A copy of the order, together with a copy of the summons and complaint
<b><u>if not previously served upon the defendant</u></b>, shall be served upon the defendant.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This requirement seems strange given the language of 59.18.370. I have read through SB 5600 a few times, and don’t see any changes to that particular statutory provision.<o:p></o:p></p>
