How Biden's 'American Rescue Plan' will impact Washingtonians
What the Covid relief bill means for Washingtonians
The American Rescue Plan will bring more than just stimulus checks to Washington state.
SEATTLE - President Joe Biden signed the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan - the American Rescue Plan - in an effort to provide some aid to struggling families.
In addition to the $1,400 stimulus checks going out to households right now, Washington state will roughly get $7 billion from the bill.
More than $4 billion of that will go right to the state, $1.5 billion goes to the counties, and just over a billion dollars will go to cities, towns and other governments.
King County Public Health plans to use some of the money from the Rescue Plan to create more pop-up vaccination sites and mobile units and to bring the vaccines to the community.
The county plans to have a breakdown of how it will use the money from the Rescue Plan later this week.
Biden also announced with this initiative that he hopes to have everyone vaccinated by May.
