During the West Coast wildfires in September 2020, SpendingPulse™ assessed the economic impact of the wildfires on the region. SpendingPulse™ insights showed that Oregon saw year-over-year total retail sales shift from +10% growth to -9% at the peak of the fires. Oregon retail sales returned to positive growth after nine days, whereas Washington saw less sales impact and returned to positive growth within three days.
