<div dir="ltr">Gwendolyn,<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Kelby J.

<p class="MsoNormal">One of the defenses is that our 90-day notice, which included several named tenants and “All other occupants” was personally served on one of the unnamed tenants and therefore required mailing. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I had the idea that mailing is only required if the notice is served on “a suitable person” who is not a tenant as well. My question is, when serving multiple tenants, is it sufficient to serve one tenant with all copies, or does that
require mailing as well?<u></u><u></u></p>
