Coronavirus fears impacting businesses in Seattle's Chinatown-International District

Some Seattle businesses said fear about the 2019 novel coronavirus is driving customers away and hurting their bottom line.

The business community in the Chinatown-International District is calling this a frustrating time and hope for more understanding than fear from the general public.

Tai Tung Restaurant has been in the neighborhood for 85 years. Owner Harry Chan said all those decades in business can teach someone a lot, like how to treat customers and when certain headlines might impact the business.

Chan said news of the coronavirus outbreak has slowed down the flow of costumers into his family’s restaurant.
