[WSBARP] Adequate UD Service????

[Paul Neumiller]

Listmates, is this personal service?  LL goes to the apartment but T is not home so the LL posts the Notice of Termination on door.  LL then walks around the complex for a while and then goes back and by then T has returned and T is standing on the front porch with the notice in his hand and they discuss the notice and the termination of the lease.  Can I bootstrap this scenario into a personal service?  Thank you in advance for your kindly input.

PS. I have reviewed the Civ. Pro. Deskbook, RCW 4.28.080, and CR4.  The Deskbook says substantial compliance is "actual compliance in respect to the substance essential to every reasonable objective of [a] statute.... In the cases where substantial compliance has been found, there has been actual compliance with the statute, albeit procedurally faulty." Weiss v. Glemp, 127 Wash.2d 726, 903 P.2d 455 (1995)

It seems to me that LL has substantial compliance with personal service because T was holding the Notice and they discussed it.  Anybody disagree?
