A guy I knew was sitting in a mall in Seattle with his right ankle resting on his left knee. An arabic man came up to him and angrily announced " In my country it is insult to show the bottom of your shoe!". My guy shoved his foot at the guy and replied "we're not in your fucking country!".

The screening is to check the credit rating of a potential renter. Bad rating usually means people who don't pay the rent. Seattle will begin melting down due to liberals gone wild.

begin melting down
You know how I know you haven't been paying attention the last 20 years?

It's going to go the same way as hiring. We don't post positions any more and only hire based on internal referral.
Same with rentals now, I guess. You're going to have to know someone that can vouch for you.

Internal referral is already preferred when renting. This will just make it a lot worse; just leave the home empty and unlisted until someone you trust knows a guy.

Even simpler. The best tenants are the ones that you are referred to by your current or previous (nondelinquent) tenants. Just keep the property empty until then; a bad tenant, especially in places like Seattle, will probably cost you more money than you would have lost keeping it empty.
This ban isn't going to hold.

The goal is to ensure prospective renters are treated equally, according to Councilmember Lisa Herbold, who championed the policy. When landlords pick one renter among multiple qualified applicants, their own biases — conscious or unconscious — may come into play, she says...
The horrors...oh the humanity...a landlord will rent to someone who won't cause problems and pay the rent on time.

Liberals do not like quality control.

Well yea...that leads to accountability and personal responsibility.

because the liberal government wants population replacement. They want to commit genocide but lack the balls and the fortitude to actually carry it out. Limp wristed cowards.
