Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Washington

I had a friend (not a party to the Complaint) serve my Answer to the attorney representing a business. It was left with the attorney's secretary who date-stamped the Answer. Should the certificate of service list the secretary's name, or is the name of the attorney sufficient?
