2021/06/30 07:28 SEATTLE (AP) Money is on the way to help save the only grocery store in an isolated Washington state community that s been especially strained by the pandemic-related closure of the U.S.-Canada border. About 1,300 people live on Point Roberts, on the tip of a peninsula south of Vancouver, British Columbia, that juts into U.S. territory. It s part of Washington, but separated from the rest of the state. Before the pandemic residents often traveled into Canada to shop, work or drive the 25 miles (40 km) through southern British Columbia to reach the U.S. mainland. Canadian shoppers and tourists, meanwhile, have been a big source of revenue for the point s businesses.
