¶22 In addition, the trial court at a show cause hearing may grant other requested relief if there are no substantial issues of material fact. RCW 59.18.380. Although a show cause hearing “is not the final determination of the rights of the parties in an unlawful detainer action,” Carlstrom, 98 Wn. App. at 788, the necessity of a trial is frequently determined at such hearings, which “routinely constitute the only opportunity [for a tenant] to present any evidence.” Leda, 150 Wn. App. at 82. However, as with any suit, where the written or oral presentations of the parties “disclose a material issue of fact, the issue must be resolved at trial.” RCW 59.12.130; Pleasant, 126 Wn. App. at 392.
