Section 09.60.060. Security for costs where plaintiff a nonresident or foreign corporation.

When the plaintiff in an action resides out of the state or is a foreign corporation, security for the costs and attorney fees, which may be awarded against the plaintiff, may be required by the defendant, if timely demand is made within 30 days after the defendant discovers that the plaintiff is a nonresident.  When required, all proceedings in the action shall be stayed until an undertaking executed by one or more sufficient sureties is filed with the court to the effect that they will pay the costs and attorney fees which are awarded against the plaintiff, for not less than $200.  A new or an additional undertaking may be ordered by the court upon proof that the original undertaking is insufficient in amount or security.
