I actually assumed the Target in downtown Seattle was one of the ones closing. I was unaware there even was one in the U-District. I could easily see a lot of theft there.
I’m a little surprised about the one in Ballard. While that spot is not exactly the epitome of high class, it is far from dangerous and does not have a large amount of homeless anymore. This kind of makes me think that revenue is shit and they are just using theft and safety as an excuse. If it was really about that, the one downtown would be closing instead.
