Two King County council members call for rent, mortgage freeze during COVID-19 pandemic
King County council members Girmay Zahilay and Jeanne Kolh-Welles want state and federal officials to consider placing a moratorium on rent and mortgage payments during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The council members introduced legislation asking Gov. Jay Inslee to freeze rent payments and urges federal lawmakers to impose a moratorium on rent and mortgage payments.
The King County Council does not have the authority to freeze rent and mortgage payments.
“Thousands of King County residents are terrified. Not only of COVID-19, but of losing their livelihood and their homes. An eviction moratorium is a great first start, but it doesn’t address the mounting debt that will be waiting," said Zahilay and Kolh-Welles in a joint statement.

Apparently Wells Fargo will allow you to apply for a mortgage suspension. Not sure for how long for. Don't know about other banks.
