ICYMI: SBA approves Inslee request for bomb-cyclone disaster declaration

The Small Business Administration late Monday approved Gov. Jay Inslee’s request for a disaster declaration [ https://governor.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2024-12/SIGNED%20SBA%20Request%20for%202024%20Bomb%20Cyclone.pdf?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] following the bomb-cyclone event in November. The SBA declaration makes low-interest federal loans available to Washington businesses and residents affected by the storm in Chelan, King, Kitsap, Kittitas, Pierce, Snohomish and Yakima counties.
