Ship 49 , in Blaine Wash. , has reduced hours of operation at the Canada-U.S. Pacific Highway border crossing.

Manager Josie Frodert said they used to have 45 to 60 customers a day come in but now it has dropped significantly.

She said they are also hearing from their customers, saying they are scared to cross the border.

Other nearby businesses are also trying to lure Canadians back.

“We find that when people are coming across the border, they’re coming for a purpose and a reason,” he said. “They’re coming to celebrate a restaurant, they’re coming to get away from whatever work they’re doing. So we’re finding that business increasing, and we’re finding that people are getting away from all the crazy news that’s in the world to enjoy some peace and calm at Semiahmoo .”.
