Seattle to receive $14 million from federal government for COVID-19 relief
SEATTLE — With coronavirus continuing to strain resources of state and local governments across the country, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan announced Friday that her city would be receiving $14 million from the federal CARES Act.
“As we quickly redeploy this relief, we know that the city alone cannot scale to the needs of this crisis as it relates to the needs of our residents and small businesses,” said Durkan in a statement.
“Our small businesses and workers are facing immediate and real economic harm across the region, which is why the next Congressional package must provide extended relief to individuals who lost their job or have been impacted by COVID-19. Seattle can only get through this unprecedented time together.”
