The nearly-deserted parking lot at the beginning of what should have been a busy May weekend explains a lot about why the only supermarket in Point Roberts, Washington, is on the verge of closure.
A local fire chief is warning of a looming humanitarian crisis on the peninsula of Point Roberts in northwest Washington state. It s a strange predicament brought on by a money-losing supermarket and pandemic-related restrictions on crossing the U.S.-Canada border.
The owner of the only grocery store in the exclave of Point Roberts said she is tapped out and will have to close around July 15 unless the international border fully reopens or her business receives an emergency government bailout. The supermarket depends on Canadian visitors and second home owners to make a profit, and those shoppers have been unable to come over for 15 months.
