The Washington State Department of Commerce recently announced a new grant opportunity specifically for businesses working in the hospitality and lodging industry.
The grant program has a total fund of $100 million to help businesses that suffered losses due to the pandemic, although there is some strict eligibility criteria. For example, the program is restricted to businesses that experienced a 25% or greater loss in gross receipts or sales between 2019 and 2020 because of COVID-19 and the subsequent public health and safety measures.
