Dozens of organizations are urging Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan to extend Seattle s eviction moratorium through the end of the year to prevent people from losing their homes during the coronavirus pandemic.
In a letter, nearly 50 organizations in the city including Be:Seattle, El Centro de la Raza, Housing Justice Project, Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness, UFCW 21 and Working Washington / Fair Work Center asked Durkan to extend the moratorium on evictions for residents, nonprofits and small businesses through 2021 and warned of the disproportionate impacts the pandemic has had on BIPOC communities.
