Rental tenant drug activity

I have a month-to-month tenant, arrested for meth distribution. I served a notice of termination on the 7th, due out by midnight 3/31 (WA requires 20-day notice). But now, after reviewing landlord/tenant law, I see that RCW 59.18.180 (3) says I can proceed directly to unlawful detainer action because of the drug activity.

Am I bound to the termination notice, or can I rescind it and serve summons & complaint now?
