[WSBARP] UD - Serve Justice Project From Previous Action?

[Kaitlyn Jackson]

No, there's no issue with that if you serve them in addition to T. But
don't expect them to answer/defend until the show cause hearings. They will
likely just help the tenant file a "pro se" NOA (drafted by their office)
which requires you to set a hearing. Then at the hearing they will ask for
continuance because they haven't had time to review/advise the tenant. Just
remember that they don't have to follow normal civil rules regarding
answer/defenses because of RCW 59.12.380. They can bring new defenses and
arguments in multiple show cause hearings. That's a common delay tactic.
I've seen and experienced cases requiring 4-5 continuances of 2 weeks or
more at a time because new defenses at each hearing are brought and each
requires research/briefing.
