I met the owners of Sprout today in Seattle as they cleaned out their restaurant, donating everything to nearby shelters and giving the rest to friends. Michael and Jenny Kelly are closing due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and do not know what the future holds.

Earlier in the morning I spent time at Chambers Bay Distillery, which has been making free hand sanitizer and giving it away to the public for free.
