"The small businesses we love are struggling to survive" is the conclusion of a new Intentionalist survey of conditions in the greater Seattle area, with two-thirds (!!!) saying that they're "under more financial stress today than during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic."Well, that's an unexpected achievement — for certain and entirely ironic values of "unexpected."Half of small businesses reported that "public safety issues — such as theft, vandalism, or break-ins — are impacting their operations," and that recovering to pre-lockdown levels requires "city fee or tax relief."Seattle being Seattle, even a report friendly to small business complains that "the emergency-era programs that helped businesses survive have largely ended, even as the need for support remains urgent."
