Federal Economic Stimulus Package

Posted on

Congressional leaders and the White House announced, shortly after midnight, that an agreement had been reached on the nearly $2 trillion economic response stimulus package. A final vote is expected today, March 25th. Here are some of the key provisions under the historic relief package:  

 

  • Direct payments of $1,200 to most individuals making up to $75,000, or $2,400 for couples making up to $150,000. The amount decreases for individuals with incomes above $75,000, and payments cut off for those above $99,000. 

  • Expanded unemployment benefits that boost the maximum benefit by $600 per week and provides laid-off workers their full pay for four months 

  • $367 billion in loans for small businesses 

  • $150 billion for state and local governments – we will soon be doing a breakdown for the state of Washington and Seattle

  • $130 billion for hospitals 

  • $500 billion in loans for larger industries, including airlines 

  • Creation of an oversight board and inspector general to oversee loans to large companies 

  • Measure prohibiting companies owned by members of Congress, the President and their families from receiving federal relief 

 

For a nice easy-to-access story, please see: CBS News: What’s in the Senate’s $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package? 

On Friday, March 27th, the House of Representatives successfully approved the $2.2. trillion coronavirus relief package which offers increased security to the health care system, small business, laid-off workers, and the economy. The President is expected to sign and local and state governments, including the city of Seattle and Governor Inslee’s office will be assessing how best to access resources, particularly appropriations dedicated to helping small businesses.

Magnolia Bookstore

M~F: 9a-7p | Sa 9a-6p | Su 12p-5p
3206 W McGraw St | 206-283-1062

Magnolia Bookstore is considered essential and will remain open.

web 3/24 –

We are still open!!

Governor Inslee’s decree exempts media-related businesses; and, to quote a letter written by Rebecca Fitting, co-owner of Greenlight Bookstore in Brooklyn, New York, to Governor Cuomo, “bookstores now serve as one of the last resources for [Seattle’s] students and families to access education materials.  In addition, we also provide both children and adults with home education and entertainment materials which are a necessity during these long periods of social distancing and isolation.”

We will continue to offer take-out service and free delivery in Magnolia, as well as browsing for short time periods and limited to 5 people in the store at one time.  We are operating with a skeleton crew and practice the utmost diligence in cleanliness and sanitizing.

Thank you for your support and we’re proud to offers ours to our community.

We are an independent general bookstore serving the local community since 1992. We offer a thoughtfully chosen selection of books for all ages, and a surprising depth of inventory that will keep you interested but never overwhelmed.

We offer free gift wrapping, frequent buyer rewards, gift certificates in any amount, and an experienced, knowledgeable staff eager to recommend and talk about all kinds of books. We have recommendations posted throughout the store; please check out recent ones on the Recommendations page.

We don’t offer online ordering, but if you wish to contact us online or after-hours, please send us an e-mail, and we’ll hold the book you want, or—if it’s not in stock—let you know how fast we can get it for you (usually within a day or two). Shipping available.

Thank you for your support of our independent bookstore!

City of Seattle’s Latest Resources for citizens

Posted on

The city of Seattle has just curated a new centralized website containing a full suite of information and links for City of Seattle programs and services that may be helpful for residents significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Also listed on the page are community, county, and state resources that may be helpful to you. Some of these programs and services are available to everyone regardless of where you live,  although other restrictions may apply. The site offers the latest guidance on healthcare and hygiene, immigration related information, food support, internet access, rent and utility bill support, and support for workers who have been affected by the coronavirus. The city will continue updating the page as more resources develop.
