On Wednesday morning, tenant advocates threatened to evict lawmakers who don t prioritize renters well-being. Washington Community Action Network
A few years ago Washington had some of the worst protections for renters in the country. While the state has made progress, its laws still overwhelmingly tip the balance of power toward landlords. Outside of Seattle, Auburn, Federal Way, and Burien, for instance, landlords can boot month-to-month tenants for no reason with only 20 days notice. And even within Seattle, landlords can kick you out at the end of any lease without giving a reason (for now).

SEATTLE, Wash. Washington Community Action Network (CAN) is urging Governor Jay Inslee to take action to stop the rampant spread of COVID-19 through state prisons.
The Airway Heights Corrections Center is just one of several prisons across Washington that have been battered by COVID earlier this week there were 1,600 inmates in the facility, and as of Wednesday, 740 cases of the virus have been reported.
Inmates say they have been deprived of showers and toilets, and COVID is transmitted wildly through the prison population.
Back in April, Washington CAN petitioned Inslee to step up and enact measures to prevent COVID transmission in the corrections system. They suggested the Department of Corrections release inmates whose crimes were committed before 1984, and release inmates from remote camp facilities and rework those buildings into quarantine areas.
