Questions about Friday Harbor, WA rents
How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in Friday Harbor, WA?
Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the county-wide two-bedroom FMR of $2,022, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $1,820 to $2,224 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $2,120 it would be $1,908 to $2,332.

Confirm the local housing authority's current schedule before underwriting.
