Captain Dave..
last years’ news… unfortunately about as recent as it gets..
http://www.seattlebusinessmag.com/article/2016-economic-outlook-we%25E2%2580%2599re-slowing-down
but if we get more specific about small businesses this gets even more interesting
you might look at the graphs that compare small business job growth in Seattle to other comparable cities
and then there’s this..

that tech business you ignore is jumping..
of course, you don’t really need to read all of this to see that small business is alive and well in Seattle.. just drive down California Avenue and take a good look at all of those ground floor businesses.. and the housing that feeds them customers…
that doesn’t fit with your storyline…
but what else is new?
