National Small Business Week is underway. Sarah Sadrakula, director of Main Street Washington, spoke of the downtown Washington district as continuing with business as usual with new summer inventory. She adds downtown Washington has a very low vacancy rate for shops, but there are still a few she’d like to see filled or rented.

Sadrakula encourages people to look local first for gifts, including the upcoming Mother’s Day. For the full interview with Sadrakula listen to today’s Washington Page.
