All Washington Toys R Us Stores To Close: Report

BELLEVUE, WA - The remaining six Toys R Us stores around Puget Sound will likely close, according to reports out Wednesday afternoon. Toys R Us leaders in late January already announced that three Washington Toys R Us stores - in Everett, Silverdale, and Spokane - would close in 2018.

The remaining stores around Puget Sound are located in Olympia, Puyallup, Tacoma, Tukwila, Bellevue, and Lynnwood. Babies R Us stores will also close as well. All Puget Sound Toys R Us stores except Puyallup have a Babies R Us attached.

CEO David Brandon announced the possible liquidation Wednesday at the Toys R Us headquarters in New Jersey. About 33,000 workers will lose their jobs if Toys R Us closes all its U.S. stores.

"The 70-year-old chain, which filed for bankruptcy protection in September, has more than 700 remaining U.S. locations, including Babies ‘R’ Us stores. It would be one of the biggest retail liquidations since The Sports Authority filed for bankruptcy in 2016 with 14,500 workers and closed more than 460 stores," the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
