MOSES LAKE — Businesses and community organizations in Moses Lake will have another chance to apply for grants to help cover losses due to COVID-19-related closures.
The Moses Lake Chamber of Commerce is accepting applications for Rapid Response Grants, part of the package of coronavirus relief funding passed by Congress in April, on behalf of the city, which has $50,000 in total funding available.
“Businesses that had significant losses due to COVID-19 are encouraged to apply. We want to see all our communities’ businesses survive this unexpected pandemic,” Debbie Doran-Martinez, president and CEO of Moses Lake Chamber of Commerce, said in a press release.
The maximum grant size is $5,000. Businesses or non-profit community organizations must have 10 or fewer full-time employees and must have suffered a loss of at least 25 percent as a result of Gov. Jay Inslee’s closure orders in March.
The grants can cover rent, wages and the costs of complying with COVID-related reopening rules.
In addition, businesses must be located within the Moses Lake city limits, have a current business license and not be delinquent on any taxes or fees to the city.
For more information, contact the Moses Lake Chamber of Commerce at 509-765-7888 or visit their website at www.moseslake.com.

WSU Lind Dryland Research Station welcomes new director
LIND — Washington State University soil scientist and wheat breeder Mike Pumphrey was a bit dejected as he stood in front of some thin test squares of stunted, somewhat scraggly spring wheat at the university’s Lind Dryland Research Station. “As you can see, the spring wheat is having a pretty tough go of it this year,” he said. “It’s a little discouraging to stand in front of plots that are going to yield maybe about seven bushels per acre. Or something like that.” Barely two inches of rain have fallen at the station since the beginning of March, according to station records. Pumphrey, speaking to a crowd of wheat farmers, researchers, seed company representatives and students during the Lind Dryland Research Station’s annual field day on Thursday, June 15, said years like 2023 are a reminder that dryland farming is a gamble.
