Governor extends some protections for Washington renters
OLYMPIA — Washington tenants will have more time to catch up on rent payments without fear of being evicted.
On Thursday, Gov. Jay Inslee announced an order that protects renters after the state’s eviction moratorium expires Wednesday.
Starting Aug. 1, landlords can evict tenants who refuse to seek help from a rental relief program or a repayment plan, under the new proclamation, which runs through September.
“I’m proud of the things we’ve done to protect families from homelessness during the COVID pandemic,” Inslee said during a news conference. “This extension is a bridge that will support both tenants and landlords during this transitional period.”

Seems fair. Landlords still have to pay property taxes and in most cases a mortgage.
