Washington House passes bill limiting rent hikes to 7%

By Carleen Johnson The Center Square

STATE DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS During the winter, high school students from around the city come to the Queen Anne Aquatic Center to practice their diving skills. Led by coaches Stephanie Hunt and Ed Harris, the divers from Bishop Blanchet, Seattle Prep, Ingraham, and West Seattle High Schools have been practicing together for three months. Here they are at a swim meet in Queen Anne earlier in the season. And this last weekend, they went out to the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way to compete in the Washington State 3A Diving Championship. Giovanni Photos by Manuela Slye Slye is a senior at West Seattle High School and placed tenth in the competition. “Going to the state competition three years in a row is very exciting and a great honor,” Slye said. And Ingraham High School’s Charles Cady placed third. “As someone who only trains diving a few months out of the year, I never expected to be on the podium at state. Especially not top three,” said Cady. PRSRT STD U.S. POSTAGE

Minutes before a 5 p.m. legislative deadline and after a lengthy floor debate, the Washington State House of Representatives passed a bill on Tuesday that limits rent increases statewide to 7% annually. House Bill 2114 passed on a near-party-line vote with 54 yeas, 43 nays, with one excused absence. HB 2114 now moves to the Senate where its future is uncertain. A version of the bill died there last month. Other provisions of the bill include longer notification periods for a rent increase, no increases during the first rental year, and a cap on late fees. Rep. Emily Alvarado, D-Seattle, is the prime sponsor of the legislation. “The momentum is building because people are hurting," she said. Alvarado said HB 2114 can help provide predictability for renters. But several landlords and developers say capping rents will discourage construction and worsen the state’s housing shortage. During public hearings on the bill last month, Morgan Shook with ECOnorthwest, specializing in land use and redevelopment policy, told lawmakers years of experience and many economic studies have proven rent control policies fail. “Many academics and housing professionals know price controls result in unintended consequences, namely that many of the shortterm benefits are outweighed by the long-term damage to the housing market," he said. The bill passed by the House on Tuesday would cap late fees for rent payments at $10 per month and all move-in fees at no more than one month’s rent. It also prohibits landlords from having different rent prices and fees for monthto-month leases compared to fixed-term leases, though new construction would be exempt from the rules for the first 10 years of RENT Page 3Æ

Savvy Senior: Do I Need to File a Tax Return This Year?

ear Savvy Senior, What are the IRS income tax filing requirements for retirees this tax season? I didn’t file a tax return the past two years because my income was below the filing threshold, but I got a part-time job late last year, so I’m wondering if I’m required to file this year. Retired Worker Dear Retired, Whether or not you are required to file a federal income tax return this year will depend on how much you earned last year (in 2023), as well as the source of the income, your age and filing status. Here’s a rundown of this tax season’s IRS tax filing requirement thresholds. For most people, this is pretty straightforward. If your 2023 gross income – which includes all taxable income, not counting your Social Security benefits, unless you are married and filing separately – was below the threshold for your filing status and age, you probably won’t have to file. But if it’s over, you will. • Single: $13,850 ($15,700 if you’re 65 or older by Jan. 1, 2023).

Adobe Stock Image • Married filing jointly: $27,700 ($29,200 if you or your spouse is 65 or older; or $30,700 if you’re both over 65). • Married filing separately: $5 at any age. • Head of household: $20,800 ($22,650 if 65 or older). • Qualifying surviving spouse: $27,700 ($29,200 if 65 or older). To get a detailed breakdown on federal filing requirements, along with information on taxable and nontaxable income, call the IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you a free copy of the “1040 and

RENT from Page 1Æ occupancy. Additionally, the proposal would require the Department of Commerce to create an online landlord resource center, and it calls for the Attorney General’s Office to publish model lease provisions for rent and fee increases. "A balanced approach aimed at helping tenants while offering flexibility to landlords to deal with rising costs and to developers investing in new construction," Alvarado said during last month's testimony. “It allows landlords to raise the rent, but it prevents excessive rent increases." Rep. Chris Corry, R-Yakima, is not a fan of the legislation. “It will have the opposite impact," he predicted. "Look at what has happened across our country. Portland saw 6,400 units leave." In 2019, Oregon became the first state in the nation with statewide rent control. Rep. Peter Abbarno, R-Centralia, urged fellow lawmakers to oppose the bill. “This is not going to help our renters, or our landlords," he said from the House floor. April Connors, R-Kennewick, urged

1040-SR Instructions for Tax Year 2023,” or you can see it online at IRS.gov/pub/irspdf/i1040gi.pdf. CHECK HERE TOO Be aware that there are other financial situations that can require you to file a tax return, even if your gross income falls below the IRS filing requirements. For example, if you earned more than $400 from selfemployment in 2023, owe any taxes on an IRA, Health Savings Account or an alternative minimum tax, or get premium tax credits because you, your spouse or a dependent is enrolled

members to vote against the bill. “Tenants rely on the existence of housing providers," she said. “Again tenants rely on the existence of housing providers. I fear this policy is not going to fix the housing crisis, but will drive up housing costs.” Conners argued rents year-over-year have come down, citing statistics from Zillow. “Control on the price of rent does not fix the housing crisis," she said. In support of the bill, Rep. Alex Ramel, D-Bellingham, read from a message he received from a constituent. “A constituent in Anacortes wrote to me saying, 'I know I’m not the only one in crisis. I’m a single mom who has lived in Anacortes my son's whole life, and my apartment complex has proposed a rent increase of $98.00,'" he said. Ramel went on to say, “She said she doesn’t know how she will pay the increase along with medical bills and wants some kind of hope that things will improve.” Senate Bill 5961 that would have limited yearly rent increases to 15% for existing tenants, while giving cities and counties the option to set lower caps, failed to pass out of the Senate Housing Committee last month.

in a Health Insurance Marketplace plan, you’ll need to file. You’ll also need to file if you’re receiving Social Security benefits, and onehalf of your benefits plus your other gross income and any tax-exempt interest exceeds $25,000, or $32,000 if you’re married and filing jointly. To figure all this out, the IRS offers an online tax tool that asks a series of questions that will help you determine if you’re required to file, or if you should file because you’re due a refund. It takes less than 15 minutes to complete. You can access this tool at IRS.gov/Help/ITA – click on “Do I Need to File a Tax Return?” Or you can get assistance over the phone by calling the IRS helpline at 800-829-1040. CHECK YOUR STATE Even if you’re not required to file a federal tax return this year, don’t assume that you’re also excused from filing state income taxes. The rules for your state might be very different. Check with your state tax agency before concluding that you’re entirely in the clear. For

links to state tax agencies see Taxadmin.org/fta-members. TAX PREPARATION HELP If you find that you do need to file a tax return this year, you can free file through the IRS at IRS.gov/ FreeFile if your 2023 adjusted gross income was below $79,000. Or, if you need some help, contact the Tax Counseling for the Elderly (or TCE) program. Sponsored by the IRS, TCE provides free tax preparation and counseling to middle and low-income taxpayers, age 60 and older. Call 800-906-9887 or visit IRS.treasury.gov/freetaxprep to locate services near you. You can also get tax preparation assistance through the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide service. Call 888-227-7669 or visit AARP.org/findtaxhelp for more information. You don’t have to be an AARP member to use this service. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Leftovers never tasted so good by Lynda Balslev

Behold the convergence of leftover chicken and pantry staples that come together in a spicy chicken and black bean stew. It takes inspiration from a chile and Mexican tortilla soup with shredded chicken, black beans, chipotles and a whole host of toasty, smoky Southwestern spices. It's a warming one-pot meal that tastes even better the day after it's made. The key to the flavor and heat in the soup is canned chipotles, which are available in the international section of most well-stocked supermarkets. They pack heat, so start by adding two chopped chipotles with their juices to the stock, and then tasting and adjusting for more heat. If you can't access canned chipotles, try substituting 1 teaspoon ground chipotle chile powder plus 1 teaspoon smoked paprika to amplify the smoky flavor -- and remember to taste for seasoning. Note: While I originally made this recipe with leftover chicken, the recipe below provides for making the soup with fresh chicken. If you do happen to have leftover cooked chicken (or a store-bought rotisserie bird) on hand, skip the first step. Then add the cooked, shredded chicken in with the beans. CHIPOTLE CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN STEW Active Time: 45 minutes Total Time: 45 minutes Yield: Serves 4 to 6

If the pan is dry, add 1 tablespoon oil. Add the onion and saute until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the peppers and saute until bright in color and crisp tender, 1 to 2 minutes more. Stir in the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste, chipotles, cumin, coriander, paprika and cloves; stir to make a slurry and toast the spices, about 1 minute more. Add the chicken stock, tomatoes and squash. Return the partially cooked chicken and any collected juices to the pot. Season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook the stew, partially covered, until the squash is tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Stir in the black beans, brown sugar and lime juice and continue to simmer for 10 to 15 minutes more. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if needed. Stir in the cilantro. Ladle the stew into bowls. Serve with additional cilantro, the tortilla chips, and diced avocado for garnishing. Lynda Balslev is an award-winning writer, cookbook author, and recipe developer based in northern California.

transportation to approximately 120 students with one bus, and 3 support vehicles," he explained. “Every day we rely on staff to make multiple drop-offs and pickups.” He went on to say, “Being able to use our support vehicles was not a choice but a necessity to get students to and from school, and we’ve had to rely on another district to supply us with support vehicles on days when we have field trips or athletic contests.” Due to bus driver shortages and budget issues, even the largest school district in the state, the Seattle School District, has made dramatic changes to transportation policy in recent years. Those changes include giving students public transportation passes, changing school bell-times, and increasing walk-zones for students who can no longer rely on bus transportation. “It makes more sense to allow school districts to use vans or other alternative vehicles, so long as they meet safety standards and are operated safely," Braun said. SB 6031 will now be considered in the House of Representatives.

Washington bill would strip liquor license ban from adult entertainment venues By TJ Martinell The Center Square

A bill would strip away an existing rule under the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board prohibiting adult entertainment venues from obtaining a liquor license. Senate Bill 6105, sponsored by Sen. Rebecca Saldaña, D-Seattle, would also require those establishments provide training for workers and add certain safety requirements to ensure worker protection. The bill was introduced several weeks before Seattle police and officials with LCB conducted inspections of several local bars suspected of engaging in “lewd conduct” not allowed on premises that sell alcohol. Although no arrests were made, the inspections have been viewed by some as tantamount to police raids.

“We are in a moment in our country’s history when members of the LGBTQ community feel under siege,” Sen. Jamie Pedersen, D-Seattle, said on the Senate floor on Feb. 7. He added that a “sense of safety was shattered by the actions of the Liquor Control Board.” Sen. Marko Liias, D-Mukilteo, told colleagues on the Senate floor that “I think it’s important to center ourselves on what we’re trying to promote, which is public safety.” Under SB 6105, adult entertainment establishments would be allowed to get a liquor license, but if they do only individuals 21 years or older, including dancers, would be allowed to enter the premise. The bill also requires training for medical emergencies, conflict deescalation, and ways to identify human trafficking. Keypad locks

and other safety features would be required, as well. Testifying on the bill at its Valentine’s Day public hearing in the House Committee on Labor & Workplace Standards, Saldana told colleagues that adult entertainment businesses have “been an unsafe workplace for many workers and only got worse during COVID.” She added the bill’s provisions would lead to “a much safer working environment for these workers. When I look at the work that we did to support small business and independent contractors during COVID…alcohol is often the thing that allows a small business that’s doing great food or great entertainment to make their business viable. This bill…makes a real difference in their lives.” Madison Zack-Wu with Strippers Are Workers told the committee that they want to be

“free from prejudiced policing. All we want is to be well.” Tech engineer Kasey Champion told the committee that she became an adult dancer at 18 to help her family pay their bills. “When you love your family sometimes you’re faced with difficult decisions," she said. "The opportunities that kept my family safe do not exist for dancers today because of legislation that criminalizes our behavior and keeps clubs barely financially able to sustain.” Among those opposed to giving adult entertainment venues liquor licenses was Robin Miller with the Sex Trade Survivor Caucus. “Alcohol will only do more harm,” she said. “I don’t think that there’s ever been a statement I’ve heard is that alcohol will create safety.” SB 6105 is not scheduled for any further committee action.
