RULE 6                                                
                            TIME                                                 
                                                                                 
    (a) Computation. In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed       
by these rules, by the local rules of any superior court, by order of            
court, or by any applicable statute, the day of the act, event, or default       
from which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be              
included. The last day of the period so computed shall be included, unless       
it is a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday, in which event the period         
runs until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, a Sunday         
nor a legal holiday. Legal holidays are prescribed in RCW 1.16.050. When         
the period of time prescribed or allowed is less than 7 days, intermediate       
Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays shall be excluded in the computation.      
    (b) Enlargement. When by these rules or by a notice given thereunder or      
by order of court an act is required or allowed to be done at or within a        
specified time, the court for cause shown may at any time in its                 
discretion, (1) with or without motion or notice, order the period enlarged      
if request therefor is made before the expiration of the period originally       
prescribed or as extended by a previous order or, (2) upon motion made           
after the expiration of the specified period, permit the act to be done          
where the failure to act was the result of excusable neglect; but it may         
not extend the time for taking any action under rules 50(b), 52(b), 59(b),       
59(d), and 60(b).                                                                
    (c) Proceeding Not To Fail for Want of Judge or Session of Court. No         
proceeding in a court of justice in any action, suit, or proceeding pending      
therein, is affected by a vacancy in the office of any or all of the judges      
or by the failure of a session of the court.                                     
    (d) For Motions--Affidavits. A written motion, other than one which may      
be heard ex parte, and notice of the hearing thereof shall be served not         
later than 5 days before the time specified for the hearing, unless a            
different period is fixed by these rules or by order of the court. Such an       
order may for cause shown be made on ex parte application. When a motion is      
supported by affidavit, the affidavit shall be served with the motion; and,      
except as otherwise provided in rule 59(c), opposing affidavits may be           
served not later than 1 day before the hearing, unless the court permits         
them to be served at some other time.                                            
    (e) Additional Time After Service by Mail. Whenever a party has the          
right or is required to do some act or take some proceedings within a            
prescribed period after the service of a notice or other paper upon him and      
the notice or paper is served upon him by mail, 3 days shall be added to         
the prescribed period.
