Pot shop revenue upswing might be a 'temporary high'
Marijuana sales are up around the region, but shop owners don’t think it will last.
“The biggest fear is that we’ll get shut down. That’s what’s driving (sales) the most,” said Sky Nielsen, owner of Fweedom. “This is a very temporary high, but it’s hard to tell.”
Gov. Jay Inslee ordered Washingtonians to stay in as much as possible and closed social-gathering places like restaurants, coffee shops and gyms in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19. Other states are following Washington’s lead and closing schools and ordering various social-distancing measures. Residents of several counties in California’s Bay Area, meanwhile, have been ordered to shelter in place.
Several Washington marijuana business owners say fears that a lockdown like the one in San Francisco could occur in Seattle are driving people into the stores.
