Conclusion
For the reasons stated above, the court concludes that Defendant Quality committed two
violations of the Washington Deeds of Trust Act when it commenced the nonjudicial foreclosure
of the Plaintiff’s Deed of Trust: (1) Quality violated RCW 61.24.010(1)(a), which requires a
corporate Trustee to have at least one corporate officer who is a Washington resident; and/or
(2) Quality violated RCW 61.24.010(2), which requires a Trustee of a deed of trust to have been
appointed by the beneficiary of the deed of trust.
Quality’s violations of the Deeds of Trust Act are grounds to sustain Plaintiff’s claim for
damages against Quality pursuant the Consumer Protection Act, Chapter 19.86 RCW. The
Plaintiff is entitled to a judgment in her favor and against Quality for treble the amount of her
injury, along with her costs of suit, including her reasonable attorneys’ fees.
