Niketown Store in DT Seattle permanently closes as crime and safety issues persist

The downtown Seattle Nike store at 1500 6th Avenue opened in 1996. It will close this Friday.

At the time, the store was symbolic of a growing and new downtown retail core.

At one time, the store held a contest to decide who the biggest sports star in Seattle was so they could put a billboard on the front of the store. It turned out to be Sue Bird, in her prime, playing for the Seattle Storm.

The early days of the store had lines outside the front. The company made the grand opening a big deal. So did downtown Seattle.
