The company announced
this year that it planned to hire
hundreds of people to staff the
new stores.
The Factoria store “has hun-
dreds of employees,” Hass said
in an email. “This number is
similar to our other Amazon
Fresh Stores and comparable to
other major grocers.”
Amazon has not yet an-
nounced a date for the opening
of the Central District store,
and declined to say whether
that store would also have ca-
shierless technology. Though
not much of that store’s inte-
rior is visible from the side-
walk, glimpses inside indicate
that its shelves are close to fully
stocked.
In Washington state, in ad-
dition to its two Amazon Fresh
grocery stores, Amazon also
operates six Amazon Go ca-
shierless convenience stores, 11
Whole Foods locations and a
handful of other physical retail
storefronts, including Ama-
zon Books and Amazon 4-star
stores.
“There are so many factors
that brought us to this point
that the inevitable correction
of the market is going to look
more like a large ship slowly
turning, not the speedboat
making an abrupt 180 that we
saw in 2008,” Highland said.
The inventory of homes for
sale dropped again in May,
this time to less than a moth,
the lowest level reported in

the 30-year history of the Re-
gional Multiple Listing Ser-
vice. A market is considered
balanced between buyers and
sellers when there is four to
six months of inventory.
If sales continue at the same
pace, the home inventory
would take less than three
weeks to zero out all the avail-
able homes on the market.
Since June 2020, the sup-
ply of homes to sell has idled
around one month, accord-
ing to the listing service.

A traditional cashier checkout is also an option at the first Amazon Fresh in Washington that also has a cashier-
less technology option, seen on opening day Thursday in Bellevue, Washington.

Delta Air Lines Inc. is more than
20% behind pre-pandemic capacity
and United Airlines Holdings Inc.
is more than 30% below. American
didn’t immediately comment on the
difference.
American and other airlines have
had trouble matching their desire to of-
fer flights with their ability to assemble
crews, although it expects to complete
training for furloughed pilots by the
end of June. The airline said it dropped
Social CBD
Continued from A11
Curaleaf had its own CBD line and
didn’t buy Cura’s CBD brand. So Cura
insiders launched a new company, Sen-
tia Wellness, built on the new Social
CBD product line. Regulatory filings
indicate Sentia had raised $91 million,
but it immediately ran into setbacks.
Sentia laid off 30 of its 150 staff
members less than five months after
its launch, blaming uncertainty over
New listings: The 3,971 Portland metro area homes introduced
to the market in May marked a 2.3% decrease from the 4,065 new
listings in April, according to the latest listing service report. Last
month’s new listings marked a 16.1% increase from the 3,419 new
listings in May 2020.
Pending sales: In the Portland metro area, the 3,717 homes that re-
ceived an accepted offer in May signaled a 9.3% increase compared
to April and a 19.4% spike from May 2020, according to the report.
Closed sales: In May, 3,183 residential properties in the Portland
metro area were sold — an increase of 8% from the 2,946 that
closed in April, and a 62.1% jump from the 1,963 closings in May
2020, the report shows.
Time on the market: The average time Portland metro residen-
tial properties were for sale last month before receiving an ac-
ceptable offer dropped to 22 days.
flights in markets that have other op-
tions for passengers and is working to
make schedule changes in advance of
travelers’ departure dates.
Southwest Airlines Co. canceled
about 200 flights Monday — the most
among U.S. carriers, according to
tracker FlightAware.com — and 30
more on Tuesday ahead of summer
storms that were expected to push
across much of the U.S. South and
Northeast, including the New York
City area, Washington and Philadel-
phia, a spokesman said. About 480
Southwest flights, or 13%, were delayed
Monday, FlightAware data showed, fol-
lowed by 12% at American.
U.S. carriers have struggled to
match the supply of aircraft and crews
with soaring demand for air travel.
The seven-day average number of
passengers exceeded 1.9 million for
the first time since the pandemic, ac-
cording to Transportation Security
Administration tallies of people going
though security at U.S. airports.
While raw passenger counts have
been climbing steadily as infections
and deaths fall, the trend coincides
with the traditional increase as the
summer travel season approaches. As
a result, the number of people flying
has remained at about 73% of 2019
levels, including for all of June.
“We’re just seeing a rocket ship
straight up to where we were prior to
the pandemic domestically,” said Den-
nis Tajer, an American captain and
spokesman for the Allied Pilots Asso-
ciation. About 1,000 American pilots
retired early or left the airline volun-
tarily during the pandemic as U.S.
carriers sought to reduce headcount
to match gutted demand.
American’s scheduling system,
which has long been a sore point be-
tween the carrier and its pilots union,
hasn’t kept up with the expanded
schedule, he said. “We’re disappointed
that management is surrendering to
reducing the schedule rather than
working with APA to create solutions
to fly the schedule.”
Aviators who have been concerned
about American’s viability have en-
couraged the airline to “be aggressive”
with allowing willing pilots to pick up
overtime flying, Tajer said.
The airline didn’t immediately
comment on the union’s claim.
how federal health regulators would
treat CBD. The Portland company
was later sued by its landlord when
Sentia sought to cancel its lease for its
Pearl District headquarters, and by
an Italian chocolate company that ac-
cused Sentia of backing out of a deal
to buy manufacturing equipment.
Court records indicate Sentia set-
tled the dispute with its landlord, but
the $2.2 million suit over its manufac-
turing equipment remains active.
Kadenwood said buying Social
CBD will expand the California com-
pany’s retail network to 18,000 stores.
“As the CBD industry continues to
grow, we are excited to see the Social
CBD products and brand transitioned
to the expertise of the Kadenwood
team,” said Khanna, described in last
week’s announcement as Sentia’s CEO.
Kadenwood said Khanna will have no
role after the acquisition.
Sentia hadn’t publicly identified a
CEO before last week, though Khanna
was a regular presence in the compa-
ny’s office and was active in raising
money for the Portland business.
Once a prominent figure in Port-
land’s tech community, Khanna
moved into the marijuana business af-
ter his wife’s hairdresser accused him
of raping her early on the morning of
his own wedding in 2012. Khanna de-
nied the sexual assault allegations but
wouldn’t say whether he had sex with
the hairdresser that morning.
Prosecutors didn’t charge Khanna,
saying that while DNA evidence
showed he had sexual contact with the
woman, they couldn’t prove it was non-
consensual. Khanna settled a lawsuit
the woman brought in 2014 without
disclosing terms of their agreement.
Khanna stepped down as CEO of
Cura, the Portland marijuana com-
pany, in 2018 after women active
in the marijuana community high-
lighted the past allegations against
him. He remained the company’s ex-
ecutive chairman, though, and engi-
neered its sale to Curaleaf.
