Governor Inslee announced the extension of the eviction moratorium through October 15, as COVID-19 continues to impact the finances of Washingtonians.
The extension makes modifications to the prior moratorium, including:
- Minor clarifications to existing restrictions, such as clarifying that law enforcement may serve eviction orders that include court findings as listed in the proclamation.
- Creating a workgroup to help inform potential changes to the moratorium in the short and long-term, if needed. The workgroup is specifically asked to consider how future extensions could address options to increase rent.
AWC has requested city representation on the workgroup.
