July 4th 2009 | Is the Stock Market Open on July 3 2009?
Friday, July 3rd, 2009With the United States Independence Day celebration on July 4, 2009, people are asking: “Is the stock market open on July 3 2009?” Are banks open on July 3?
I checked out the following information from Seattle Times:
Banks: Open Friday and closed Saturday, though some branches inside grocery stores might be open limited hours.
Government Offices: King County offices are recognizing July 3 as a holiday and will be closed both Friday and Saturday. In addition, most King County buildings and services will be closed Monday, July 6, for one of the 10 furlough days being taken this year. Metro transit will be operational on July 6, however, and the King County Courthouse also will be open.
Garbage Collection: Will proceed as usual on both Friday and Saturday.
Shopping Malls: Most malls are open regular hours on Friday and will be closing slightly early on Saturday. Bellevue Square will open Saturday from 9:30 a.m.-7 p.m.; Westlake Center and Alderwood, Northgate and Tacoma malls will be open from 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
Ferries: Depending on the route, some ferry schedules have been modified to accommodate expected holiday traffic. The Seattle-Bainbridge Island run will operate on a Saturday schedule both July 3 and 4, while the Edmonds-Kingston run will sail a holiday schedule on July 3 and return to normal Saturday service July 4.
I join the citizens of United States in celebrating their Independence Day on July 4, 2009. While it may be imperfect, the United States is still a good example of democracy all over the world.
