They are planning to resume business as usual on April 9 per this email that went out on April 7. ===Monday, April 7thNews Flash Again! Thanks so much for your great response to our curbside services, email and phone orders but it has become too complicated with our smaller staff and the large scale of the nursery. We will be opening on April 9th, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM, 7 days a week (subject to change if necessary.)There is an abundance of room to distance for the safety of customers and staff. We are being very strict about social distancing.Our motto has been "We have Serious Fun". This is the true meaning of serious fun!Thanks from all the Kent’s Staff. We have missed you.===This is so frustrating! There are many, many small businesses that would like the opportunity to be open -- serving their customers in safe ways. MANY other businesses are losing money during the COVID-19 closures. This business will be packed on the opening weekend. This opening encourages and invites people to go out and have some fun. This feels wrong and it is inconsistent with Washington's #stayhomestayhealthy order." -
