Moreover, to obtain a writ of restitution, the complaining landlord must obtain an order for a show cause hearing, to be held between 6 and 12 days subsequent to its issuance, and then serve the order upon the tenant. RCW 59.18.370; 17 William B. Stoebuck, Washington Practice: Real Estate: Property Law, § 6.80 (1995); see also Hartson P’ship v. Goodwin, 99 Wn. App. 227, 230, 991 P.2d 1211 (2000) (noting that show cause hearing on issuance of writ of *191restitution required). Here, the record does not reflect whether the trial court issued a show cause order or that such order was served upon Ms. Newbigging. Even if we assumed that counsel’s August 13 letter constituted notice, the default hearing was held well beyond the time allowed in RCW 59.18.370.
