In the U.S., more than 500,000 deaths over the last two decades have been linked to opioids, both prescription drugs and illegal ones. Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson has called the settle- ment “woefully insufficient.” Instead of joining, he sued AmerisourceBer- gen, Cardinal Health and McKesson for $38 billion.

Lloyd Center Continued from A11 sierra dawn mcclain/capital Press Apples from Washington state get processed at a packing house. Because of shipping problems and tariff disputes, Washington ap- ple growers are focusing on sales in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Apples Continued from A11 But with high ocean shipping costs and jammed ports, Lyons said there’s “lower risk to ship to neighbors.” Although many export difficulties have been shipping-related, another piece of the puzzle is retaliatory tariffs. China currently has three tariffs on Washington apples adding up to a to- tal 55% tariff. This makes U.S. apples less competitive in China’s market- place. In India, two tariffs also continue, adding up to a total 70% tariff. Since the tariffs started in 2019, Washing- ton’s share of India’s apple market has fallen from 20% to 6%. Although this isn’t good news for the industry, it’s not a surprise, in part because Washington farmers have re- cently been growing fewer acres of Red Delicious — India’s favorite variety. “We’re much less dependent on (In- dia’s) market today than we were two years ago,” said Bob Mast, grower and president of CMI Orchards. “There were close to 22 million boxes of (Red Delicious) left this time in the season two years ago, and there are about 15 million this year. So, if there’s a year that we wanted to not have as much dependency on that market, this is a good year for it.” India is sourcing an increasing number of Red Delicious apples from Turkey. The apple commission, in turn, is pivoting its marketing strategy, cutting advertising dollars by 45% in India this year and focusing on the Amer- icas. Over the weekend, the commission rolled out an in-store sampling cam- paign for Cosmic Crisp apples in 42 Metro Ontario locations, a Canadian retailer. According to early reports from the commission’s Canada mar- keting representative, the campaign is going well. Although industry leaders are work- ing the “home court,” they’re also in conversations with shipping experts about how to improve exports. In a commission meeting Thursday, John Wolfe, CEO of the Northwest Seaport Alliance, a marine cargo part- nership between the ports of Seattle and Tacoma, told growers his organi- zation is working toward solutions. In January, with a $400 million cap- ital investment, Seattle will open Ter- minal 5, which Wolfe expects will re- lieve congestion 10% to 20%. October 2022, the Port of Seattle also plans to upgrade Terminal 46 to receive vessels. “It won’t solve the issue entirely, but it will ease the pain,” he said. Officials are also exploring building inland terminals. Wolfe said he expects the shipping situation to stabilize by mid-year to the third quarter of 2022. Urban Renaissance Group is known in Portland for projects that include the renovation of The Or- egonian’s former headquarters at 1320 SW Broadway St., now used as office space for a variety of com- panies. It also bought the former printing facility for The Oregonian next to Providence Park, where it built a 150,000-square-foot office building. KKR said in October that it would repossess the Lloyd Center by year’s end after the mall’s own- ers defaulted on a $177 million loan toward the center’s exten- sive renovations during the mid- 2010s. KKR said payments on the remaining $110 million debt stopped in October 2020. Despite the renovation, the mall struggled to turn things around. Major tenants left — including Nordstrom in 2015, Sears and Mar- shalls in 2018 and Macy’s earlier this year — and shopping traffic continued to decline.

Ore- gon had 132 startups funded, up 25% from the same nine months in 2020. New businesses rarely have it easy, of course. And the pandemic continues to present enormous challenges, from the omicron vari- ant to supply-chain snarls and his- toric inflation.

And in August, the mall closed for more than three weeks after an electrical fire. “It’s a challenging time to start a company because the future is less certain, I think, than it ever has been,” Osborne said. Yet Oborne said some of those changes work in favor of entrepre- neurs — especially those who have historically been shut off from op- portunities. Investors and startups are more focused on hearing from diverse founders and reaching the communities they know best, a shift she said could open up new frontiers. “It’s going to be really interest- ing over the next 10 years how the composition of entrepreneurial leadership changes,” Oborne said.
