Forty-two mobile homeowners in Puyallup are being forced to move out, so a developer can make way for a new apartment complex.
“This is a special situation,” said Johnson. “We have a development coming in and some of these residents are at risk.”
According to Johnson, families living in Meridian Mobile Estates were first notified by developer Timberlane Partners in November 2020. However, the COVID-caused eviction moratorium forced Timberlane Partners to press pause. In September 2021, signs were posted once again in the neighborhood informing residents that they had one year to relocate.
Johnson says the city has stepped up to help struggling tenants by hiring two bilingual case managers and is offering a $5,000 relocation grant to each displaced household. “As of now, over 90 percent of the households have applied for or received grants from the city,” said Johnson.
