Ha, one of the Seattle ones shut down is the former Dollar Tree on the Ave in the U District. They started a big remodel of the building right around when I left in 2017, thing barely lasted 4 years apparently.

The other Seattle store also lasted just under 4 years (opened November 2019). Seems more like they're closing recently-opened under-profitable stores.
both are shitty small format stores -- all the full size stores in seattle are staying open
Makes me think corporate simply made some bad investments, and is trying to avoid egg on their face now by blaming theft.
