[WSBARP] Urgent question for u/d hearing

[Kelby Derenick]

Gwendolyn,

I am assuming the 90 day notice issued under RCW 59.18.650(2).  If so, at
the end of that statute, under section 6(a), it states that all notices
must be served as provided in RCW 59.12.040.  Under that statute, in
section (2), it states that if the person to be served is absent from the
premises, then serve on a person of suitable age and discretion AND mail
the notice addressed directly to the tenant to be served.

I could be going down the wrong path if it was a notice served not pursuant
to RCW 59.18.650.  I hope this helps.
