<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">RCW 59.12.040 Service of Notice – Proof of Service <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The last few sentences outline the affidavit requirements, the relevant parts state:

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.5in">Proof of any service under this section may be made by the affidavit of the person making the same in like manner and with like effect as the proof of service of summons in civil actions. When a copy of notice is
sent through the mail, as provided in this section, <u>service shall be deemed complete when such copy is deposited in the United States mail in the county in which the property is situated</u> properly addressed with postage prepaid: PROVIDED, HOWEVER, That
when service is made by mail one additional day shall be allowed before the commencement of an action based upon such notice. RCW 59.18.375 may also apply to notice given under this chapter. (<u>emphasis added)<u></u><u></u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><u></u><span style="text-decoration:none"> </span><u></u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am reading this to mean, if you are mailing a notice to an individual in Pierce County, you must mail it from the Pierce County post office. This seems slightly preposterous but that is how I am interpreting this.
