In this photo taken March 24, 2020, budtender Matt Anderson wears gloves as he wipes down a counter at The Reef Capitol Hill, a marijuana store in Seattle. Earlier in the week, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee ordered nonessential businesses to close and the state's more than 7 million residents to stay home in order to slow the spread of the new coronavirus. In Washington and several other states where marijuana is legal, pot shops and workers in the market's supply chain were deemed essential and allowed to remain open. Signs posted at the store said that The Reef is donating 5% of its profits to Seattle-area coronavirus relief efforts. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren)
