I’m a Washington native and very familiar with the Downtown Seattle Nordstrom. I’m also familiar with the current issues of Downtown Seattle. I have feared Nordstrom closing the Downtown Seattle store and moving offices to Bellevue and designating the Bellevue Square store as the flagship! But accor...

I could see the reasoning for the lawsuit if the restaurant refused to accommodate. But it sounds like they were more than willing to try to help a handicapped person! Too bad A&W corporate couldn’t help them!

Trader Joe’s will be moving to the old Sears space at Everett Mall: https://www.heraldnet.com/news/trader-joes-to-move-store-to-everett-mall-application-says/?%3Futm_medium=social&utm_source=Facebook_HeraldNet_organic&fbclid=IwAR2Y___l_Mpt56qCzeD45ZPcJnzmkFYtn_YGQq17S4saKnS3HanPnICNAtI_aem_A...

I kind of wonder how the Kroger/Albertsons merger will play out in Burien and Renton, WA if allowed to proceed?! In Burien, the only full line grocers are the Fred Meyer on 1st Ave S & 143rd St and two Safeway stores. The closest Safeway to the Fred Meyer is at Burien Plaza on SW 148th St. The o...

It has been mentioned that some of the retained QFC's could be rebranded as Haggen. I think that could possibly work for stores like University Village, Mercer Street etc. But I am wondering if that could also backfire given the Haggen fiasco in terms of pricing and promotion of the stores when it ...

The Commons really needs to get rid of the interior mall and make it an urban village like what many struggling malls are doing. Yes, still have some retail but do the thing with housing, lodging, offices, restaurants and maybe even a park or new city hall for Federal Way?

If COVID, riots, massive shoplifting, increases in crime, plus Amazon pulling out of Rainier Square hadn’t happened, I think PCC would not be closing this store! I feel that for much of the issues, local policies, including wanting to do the “Amazon Head Tax”, made Rainier Square no longer viable as...

The one thing that I am not seeing talked about is, if this merger does happen, what will happen to what's left of Haggen. It seems like it would make some sense to group those stores together with QFC. Kroger could try to get the perimeters in Haggen running similar to what they are doing at Maria...

I’m from the Seattle area but in Minneapolis today and went into a Lunds and Byerlys store! Before QFC was acquired by Fred Meyer and then Kroger, it was rumored that Byerlys and/or Lunds had been approached by QFC for an acquisition! Back in the 1990’ s that may have made some sense and perhaps QFC...
