[WSBARP] Can a Party serve the 14 Day Notice to Pay or Vacate?

[Kelby Derenick]

I have always had clients serve their own notices without any issues.  The
statutes do not require that the notices be served by a third party.
However, it would probably be beneficial to have a third party serve the
notices because if a Defendant claims that notice was never served at a
future hearing, having someone other than the Plaintiff file a declaration
stating that service was in fact completed would help. But I don't think it
is required that a third party serve the notices.
