What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The commercial real estate market in downtown Seattle is reported to be rapidly softening, moving away from the high rents seen during previous economic booms. Once highly sought-after retail locations, such as the former storefronts of Adidas and Banana Republic, are now vacant or undergoing difficult negotiations.
