WA RCW 59.18, landlord's responsibilities to tenant under WA state landlord tenant act

WA Chapter 59.18 RCW (Residential landlord-tenant act) requires notices between landlord and tenant to be in writing. Thus, all communications to your landlord must be in writing (in case you must take legal actions). You can call and talk with the landlord and follow up with a letter.

If you have a written agreement with the landlord, the agreement may specified how notices between you two must be served.
