         RCW 59.18.370 states that residential landlords "may" request a show cause
hearing, but this provision has been interpreted as requiring residential landlords to afford
tenants such a hearing. See Indigo Real Estate Servs., Inc., v. Wadsworth, 169 Wn. App.
412, 421, 280 P.3d 506 (2012). In addition to the RLTA, the JCEO provides that a show
cause hearing is mandatory. SMC 22.206.160(C)(l) (a court may issue an order evicting
a residential tenant "only after the tenant has an opportunity in a show cause hearing to
contest the eviction"). -7-
