On July 24, 2020, Governor Jay Inslee extended Washington's moratorium on evictions through October 15, 2020. The order is otherwise substantially similar to the previous extension passed on June 2, which I addressed on my previous post.
The moratorium may not apply to DSHS-licensed or DSHS-certified facilities. Operators of those facilities may still take action to transfer or discharge residents of those units for health/safety reasons.
