Isolated Washington enclave Point Roberts seeks help amid  US-Canada tariff
crisis

SOURCE: KOMO News

Almost five years to the day since COVID shut down the US-Canadian border,
Tamra Hansen stands inside her Saltwater Cafe in Point Roberts worried about
the future again.

"I fear these are going to be worse times than the pandemic," said Hansen,
who successfully navigated the turbulent months after the spring of 2020, kept
the cafe open, and even opened another restaurant in this unusual American
exclave.

But now, Hansen told KOMO News, "I'm down 55% in February." It is part of
the 
reason you can see the bumper sticker on her door that she's also selling
inside noting that "Point Roberts supports Canada."

Like Minnesota's Northwest Angle, Port Roberts is connected to mainland 
North America by a connection through Canada only.
