Here’s All the Old Kmart Locations in Washington
My memories of going with my mom to Kmart as a child involved leaving my mom (who was looking at clothing and other adult items) and looking over the great Kmart toy section. I would see something I liked and streak over to ask for whatever was the hot toy at the time. She would say no, but months later, it would mysteriously seem to find its way under the Christmas tree.
Great memories of childhood at Kmart
Grabbing a burger or hot dog at the K Cafe luncheonettes and finding Bluelight Specials are all long gone, Kmart itself has become a relic of the past. Kmart's heyday was in the 1970s and 1980s. There was something magical about Christmas shopping at Kmart.
Unfortunately, the last time the company made a profit was in 2010.
Do You Remember Kmart Stores here in Washington?
The first Washington K-Mart location opened in Spokane in the late summer of 1966. The franchise had a great run until the early 2000s, when locations slowly began to close. The final Washington K-Mart closed in Burlington (Skagit County) in 2020.
