250 Seattle Businesses Receive Coronavirus Relief Grants
SEATTLE, WA—Seattle officials announced Monday they've selected the first 250 small businesses to receive $10,000 relief grants. Many of the grant recipients included restaurants and hair salons.
Nearly 9,000 small businesses applied for the first round of funding, including Jose Perez, the owner of Villa Escondida.
“Villa Escondida is a family-owned restaurant, and we are proud to support our local community and economy here in Belltown,” Perez, said. “Our small business was hit hard when many downtown workers began to work from home. This grant from the city will help us keep our staff on payroll and will help us increase our marketing to get more takeout and delivery orders.”
The grants are part of the city's $2.5 million Small Business Stabilization Fund, which is designed to help small businesses financially impacted by COVID-19.
