It is well settled Washington law that the absence of a *832finding of fact on a material issue is presumptively a negative finding against the party who bore the burden of proof. Taplett v. Khela, 60 Wn. App. 751, 759, 807 P.2d 885 (1991). There is no argument here that the burden of proof was with the plaintiff, Ms. White. Baldwin v. Sisters of Providence in Wash., Inc., 112 Wn.2d 127, 135, 769 P.2d 298 (1989) (“general burden of proof rules requirfe] the plaintiff to prove all elements of the cause of action”).
