¶ 4 Hawk appeals the denial of fees and costs, contending that RCW 59.18.290 mandates costs and fees to the prevailing party in an unlawful detainer action, except for any fees related to a claim of retaliatory eviction, which is governed by RCW 59.18.250. In the alternative, Hawk argues that if an award of costs and fees under RCW 59.18.290 is discretionary, the court abused its discretion by denying fees on grounds that her counsel were acting pro bono.
