Signees in Their Own Words: Washington

In Washington, small businesses are being pushed to the brink. One company, in operation for over 30 years, described how the ongoing tariffs have brought their planning—and future—to a standstill:

"We have been in business over 30 years and if these tariffs continue, we will be forced to close down. There is no way we can afford to pay these huge taxes. We have paused all ordering and wait to see what happens. We cannot plan for the future or sign a new rental agreement, we simply wait."

Tariffs are hurting the backbone of our local economies. Sign the letter to protect small businesses.
