As Hana prepares to close @shikorinaseattle, here’s what she and Laura want Seattle to know. “The small businesses we love are in crisis. They need cost relief and stabilization, and they need us to galvanize additional intentional spending.” On the heels of Intentionalist’s State of Brick-and-Mortar Small Business Survey, Hana and @lauraclise sat down with @kuow’s Patricia Murphy to talk about what led to the decision to close and what small businesses need to survive. Head to the link in our bio to listen to Hana’s conversation with KUOW 🔗
