may be served by mail, personal service, or fax/email, if the parties agree. So, if the PR/attorney is already a proper party involved in an action, then you do not need personal service because it would not be the first pleading in the case.

telephonically for hearing. I prepared Show Cause Order and am confused on service on PR (who is an attorney).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">I could only find juvenile and family law rules and samples of show cause orders which require personal service of show cause order.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">With most law firms closed, how are others handling service on attorneys? Do any of the King county orders re COVID provide for service of pleadings – such as summons/complaint, show cause orders where they
are usually by personal service?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">I have not done a show cause hearing/order in quite a few years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
