Mayor Durkan extended both the residential and small business/non-profit eviction moratoriums through September 30. The Seattle residential moratorium, unlike the state moratorium, does not make an exception for the owner’s intent to sell or to move into the rental property.
The City of Kenmore has also extended its eviction moratorium.
The Washington state eviction moratorium does not apply to commercial properties. The state moratorium is set to expire June 30, but Governor Inslee is considering extending it.
The federal CDC moratorium only applies to residential evictions. Whether and to what extend the CDC eviction moratorium applies in Washington is the subject of two pending state Supreme Court cases. The CDC moratorium is set to expire June 30.
