Coldwater Creek closing downtown Seattle store

New York City Coldwater Creek is closing its downtown Seattle store after 10 years to focus more on stores in suburban markets, the Puget Sound Business Journal reported.

The lease for the store has expired and the company will close the store Jan. 30.

Since the store opened, Coldwater Creek has changed its business model to focus on growth in suburban markets with smaller stores, the report said.

The Sandpoint, Idaho-based company will continue to operate its Seattle-area stores at Bellevue Square, Lynnwood’s Alderwood Mall and Tacoma Mall, as well as stores in Kent and Gig Harbor.
