Make no mistake: Seattle's small businesses make our city better in so many ways... but they are also very much in trouble. That's why it's more important than ever to SHOP LOCAL—because when we finally come out from underneath this pandemic, we're going to want these small shops, restaurants, and various services to still be here and helping us recover.
