OSO, Wash. (AP) - A general store in Snohomish County, 3 and a half miles away from the deadly mudslide last year, is facing closure just three months after opening.
KOMO-TV reports (https://bit.ly/1FpJXjo ) that Jana Hecla reopened the Oso General Store after it sat empty for three years. Now she says she can’t pay her bills. She says there are more volunteers than employees working behind the counter.
The wall of earth and mud that crashed through homes and structures in March 2014 killed 43 people in the small community of Oso. A large rescue and recovery effort stretched over weeks and involved heavy equipment, trained search crews and local residents using chain saws to pick through the debris.
