(Caruthers v. Humphrey, 12 Mich. 277; Van Husen v. Kanouse, 13 Mich. 313. See, also, Hayes v. Josephi, 26 Cal. 545; Mahler v. Newbaur, 32 Cal. 170.) We think the reasoning in Kortright v. Cady unanswerable, but in Perre v. Castro, 14 Cal. 519, (decided before Kortright v. Cady, ) on which respondents rely, our predecessors determined the question the other way.
Because RCW 61.30.090 defines so narrowly the persons who may cure a default on a real estate contract, NCMI's reliance on cases from other jurisdictions which it characterizes as holding that tender can be made by persons with an interest in the consequences of a tender, or even strangers to the debt, are inapposite. See, e.g., Walthour-Flake Co. v. Brown, 228 Ark. 307, 307 S.W.2d 215, 219 (1957); Mahler v. Newbaur, 32 Cal. 168 (1867). Tweet argued to the trial court that Verzani was required to accept his tender because he was U.S. Bank's authorized agent on the August 21 cure date.
