	127 Wn.2d 355, SEAFIRST CENTER v. ERICKSON July 1995
		Seafirst did not litigate the appeal, however; in return for their agreement not to pursue attorney fees and costs, Seafirst entered into covenants not to sue with George Kargianis, Russell A. Austin, Jr., and Anthony W. Dougherty in April 1991.
		Seafirst later responded to Erickson's motion by arguing that it had not released any of the defendants; it had merely entered into covenants not to sue, preserving rights against Erickson as the nonsettling defendant.
		Seafirst would completely lose the benefit of the lease after the Partnership's default, be unable to recover damages Seafirst suffered from the cost it incurred to construct tenant improvements for the lessee that replaced the Partnership, and would be liable to Erickson for attorney fees and costs.

		They solicited bids for Columbia Seafirst from a tight field of fewer than a half-dozen of the most likely buyers and set up a "war room" in which bidders could study confidential documents about the building behind a locked door.
