Washington state is providing disaster aid to residents in Lewis and Pierce counties affected by recent storms and floods. The state has allocated $2.5 million through the Individual Assistance program, with a total of $3.5 million available. This aid builds on funds previously sent to King, Snohomish, Skagit, and Whatcom counties. The first $1 million was distributed quickly through the Department of Social and Health Services Disaster Cash Assistance program, reaching over 2,600 households in just five days. These grants target low-income families with homes seriously damaged by floods, with payouts ranging from $375 to $1,125 depending on household size. State officials are also working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency on a joint damage assessment, which could lead to a major federal disaster declaration for additional help. Applications can be submitted online, by phone, or at local Disaster Assistance Centers. Checkout Solipillow.com
