Macy's landmark store at Third Avenue and Pine Street in downtown Seattle will close in February of next year, ending a long history of retail and holiday tradition. The closure ends a 90-year run of retail in that space. "After careful consideration, Macy's, Inc. has decided to sell the Downtown Seattle Macy's building," Blair Rosenberg, Macy's director of corporate communications, said in a statement. Rosenberg's statement did not detail the reasons behind the decision to sell. Clearance sales will begin in January 2020. The store will close at the end of February.
