RENTON, Wash. — King County Executive Girmay Zahilay announced Monday that the county will open a new Disaster Recovery Center to help those affected by historic flooding in December 2025 apply for newly approved FEMA assistance.
In a press release, Zahilay said the assistance will help residents affected by the flooding and allow public entities to repair damaged infrastructure.
“I’m thankful for the collaboration with local, state and federal partners that made this critical disaster assistance possible for those who need it most in King County,” Zahilay said. “We’re working to make this assistance as accessible as possible so that residents and business owners can rebuild and recover.”
The center will be at 919 SW Grady Way in Renton and will be open April 28 through June 10.
In addition to FEMA assistance, the Small Business Administration continues to offer federal disaster loans to small businesses and nonprofits. The new center will also assist in completing those applications.
