The Seattle Office for Civil Rights (SOCR) recently filed charges against 23 property owners after its latest round of fair housing testing allegedly showed that prospective renters experienced different treatment from Seattle landlords based on familial status, disability, and use of a federal Section 8 voucher.
“Housing discrimination is real in Seattle—not something that just happens in other places,” Seattle Mayor Ed Murray said in a statement. “These test results tell us that we still have work to do to achieve fair housing in Seattle.”
