Canadian vehicle traffic entering the United States at Whatcom County’s three crossings fell by 65,000 in the first three weeks of March, about 42% lower than the same period a year ago and steeper than the 30% -drop in February, according to Western Washington University’s Border Policy Research Institute.

“There are typically two people per car, so that represents over 100,000 [lost] visits,” said institute director Laurie Trautman.
