RULE 19
                 JOINDER OF PERSONS NEEDED
                   FOR JUST ADJUDICATION

    (a) Persons To Be Joined if Feasible. A person who is subject to
service of process and whose joinder will not deprive the court of
jurisdiction over the subject matter of the action shall be joined as a
party in the action if (1) in his absence complete relief cannot be
accorded among those already parties, or (2) he claims an interest relating
to the subject of the action and is so situated that the disposition of the
action in his absence may (i) as a practical matter impair or impede his
ability to protect that interest or (ii) leave any of the persons already
parties subject to a substantial risk of incurring double, multiple, or
otherwise inconsistent obligations by reason of his claimed interest. If he
has not been so joined, the court shall order that he be made a party. If
he should join as a plaintiff but refuses to do so, he may be made a
defendant, or, in a proper case, an involuntary plaintiff. If the joined
party objects to venue and his joinder would render the venue of the action
improper, he shall be dismissed from the action.
    (b) Determination by Court Whenever Joinder Not Feasible. If a person
joinable under (1) or (2) of section (a) hereof cannot be made a party, the
court shall determine whether in equity and good conscience the action
should proceed among the parties before it, or should be dismissed, the
absent person being thus regarded as indispensable. The factors to be
considered by the court include: (1) to what extent a judgment rendered in
the persons absence might be prejudicial to him or those already parties;
(2) the extent to which, by protective provisions in the judgment, by the
shaping of relief, or other measures, the prejudice can be lessened or
avoided; (3) whether a judgment rendered in the persons absence will be
adequate; (4) whether the plaintiff will have an adequate remedy if the
action is dismissed for nonjoinder.
    (c) Pleading Reasons for Nonjoinder. A pleading asserting a claim for
relief shall state the names, if known to the pleader, of any persons
joinable under (1) or (2) of section (a) hereof who are not joined, and the
reasons why they are not joined.
    (d) (Reserved.)
    (e) Husband and Wife Must Join--Exceptions. RCW 4.08.030 applies to the
joinder of spouses.
