Cash only at Foreclosure - Seattle?

Hi, I'm semi interested in a condo in Seattle that will come up on auction in October.  Reading the foreclosure guidelines, it seems that one needs to have cash to bid on the property.  Is that how all foreclosures work?  You'll have to bring $300K if you want the property? People actually do that?

If anyone is familiar with Seattle foreclosures, is there a bidding war like on the regular market?  Crazy bids?

FWIW:  The reason I'm interested in this unit is because I already own an identical unit in the same building.  Thus, I am intimately familiar with the area/building/renters market.  I'd be interested in the unit at the opening price or thereabouts, but not much more.  But this is in an area where even a tear down goes for well above half a million.

Any insights/experience with Seattle foreclosures is greatly appreciated.
