If your home or business was damaged between Nov. 17 – 25 due to the bomb cyclone, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides, or mudslides, you may qualify for a U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience low-interest loan. These loans cover disaster losses not fully covered by insurance or other sources. Proceeds from insurance coverage on home or property may be deducted from the eligible loan amount. Interest on the loan does not begin to accrue nor do the repayments start until 12 months after receiving the initial payment. Applicants can apply online or receive face-to-face application assistance by visiting one of two SBA Disaster Loan Outreach Centers, opening Monday, Jan. 6.

Center locations are in Renton and Bellevue: King County Elections, 919 SW Grady Way, Suite 100, Renton and Bellevue Library, 1111 110th Ave. NE, Bellevue in Room 5 on the 2nd floor. The hours for the King County Elections center are Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. while the Bellevue Library center will be open Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Tuesdays and Wednesdays 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
