FERNDALE — An example of one business in town helped by ARPA funding was featured on Monday evening TV.

Less than two hours after being mentioned at the Feb. 6 Ferndale City Council meeting, the Anytime To ee business of the Wright family was on Seattle KING-5’s Evening show. e brief feature highlighted the to eemaking processes and the story of the family business.

Anytime To ee had come up at council as Sara Fassett reported on the $400,000 the city allocated from its federal American Rescue Plan Act share and the Ferndale Downtown Association made available to qualifying existing and new businesses to apply for revitalization.

e second-generation business is now in recently remodeled space on Main Street.

Fassett talked with evident passion — and City Clerk Susan Duncan commended her for “a ton of work”— related to shepherding 16 businesses through the process of gathering information and meeting requirements of the post-pandemic recovery program.

“It’s a fun thing to be part of,” Fassett said.

e money can be spent through 2024.
