Fewer and fewer drivers are crossing the border into Washington state from Lower Mainland crossings. According to the Whatcom Council of Governments, January had a 32 per cent drop in southbound trips over the same month last year at the Peace Arch, Pacific Highway, Lynden and Huntingdon-Sumas crossings. Close to half of the 60 Bellingham area businesses surveyed report losses due to a decline in B.C. visitors. Many call the drop - devastating. Experts blame the decline on outrage over the Trump White House’s policies on both domestic and international issues, including tariffs.
