According to a recent survey of more than 130 Seattle-area small businesses, conditions are just as bad now, or worse – than during the pandemic. More than 70% say foot traffic is down compared to the same time last year. To learn more we’re joined by Intentionalist CEO Laura Clise who led the survey, and Hana Yohannes, who owns Shikorina Bakeshop on Capitol Hill.
