Which of the following protected classes is recognized under Seattle's local fair housing ordinance but is NOT included as a protected class under Washington State's Law Against Discrimination (RCW 49.60)?

Correct Answer

A) Source of income

Source of income — including the use of housing vouchers such as Section 8 — is a protected class under Seattle's local fair housing ordinance and King County code, but it is NOT listed as a protected class under Washington State's Law Against Discrimination (RCW 49.60). This means a landlord in Seattle cannot refuse to rent to a tenant solely because they use a Section 8 voucher, even though state law does not require this protection statewide.

Answer Options
A
Source of income
B
Honorably discharged veteran status
C
Sexual orientation
D
Gender identity or expression
