Have a link to the one mentioning the 210 mile rule? Yeah if there's no subsidy there's no chance boutique will fly out of there still.
Sure, here you go.

I've been following the developments of Seapots demise for a while. I am sorry for the employees who will lose their jobs but happy to see such a bottom feeder go.
I am still crossing my fingers for Boutique to come to the PNW. That will give the community a more reliable and safe alternative and me an option to stay local to home rather than commute
