It's another shopping season, and this year's shopping is destined to be different from the past.Although Seattle is currently in the second round of lockdown, most of the malls are still open, and many offline physical stores are very popular, and the discounts are greater than in previous years.
According to the latest anti-epidemic regulations, the upper limit of the passenger capacity of retail businesses such as shopping malls is 25%, and merchants will, as always, require every customer entering the store to wear a mask.As a result, the shopping waiting time in some stores will become longer, Some may require advance reservations (such as Apple stores). For specific circumstances, it is recommended to check the information published on the official website before going out.

In fact, I really want to add that the safest thing is to stay at home. I'm going to lie in bed for a holiday. If it doesn't work, I will find a place with few people nearby.
I wish all my friends,
Shopping is pleasing to the eye, and the holiday is safe and joyful.
There is no hero who falls from the sky,
Only mortals who came forward,
Special thanks to everyone who silently paid on the front line.
