Mark was a practical and utilitarian man. When I was a young lawyer, practicing in Tacoma and living in Bellevue, Mark came in to my office one day. He had a rental house not far from where he and Jean lived, and there were squatters there. He wanted to know how he could get them out legally, I proceeded to brief him on the law of unlawful detainer, how much it would cost, how he might have to have the sheriff evict them, all at his expense, and how it would probably take six weeks to six months. He never came back to my office.
At the next family gathering, I asked him what happened, "I left your office, went home, got in my pickup, drove to the house and I knocked on the door. A woman answered, and I said 'I own this house and you have to move. If you want, I have my truck here and I'll help you, Otherwise, the Sheriff will do it.' They put their stuff in my truck and I moved them"
