Sad news for Sears fans. The very last Sears store in Washington is closing. It's truly the end of an era.

When I read the news, I thought, "no way." Sears is where I purchased my first and only set of jumper cables. I still carry them in my vehicle today. I'm reminded of Sears every morning while making coffee. I have the Vintage Mr. Coffee Limited Edition Sears Roebuck & Co. Advertising Collector Tin.

Who knew? I googled it, and found it on ebay, selling for $15.99. Good to know, although, I'll keep mine for the memories. I don't even know when or how I received it. I do know, the vintage coffee filter tin has been with me for SEVERAL years, through every move.

I have so many great memories with Sears. Getting Swedish Fish at the Sears candy counter was always a treat. Picking out toys for Christmas from the Sears Catalog and ordering a new winter coat every year was tradition. Sears closing makes me sad.

Sears closed in the Columbia Center Mall in March, 2019. Today, there are only 9 Sears stores remaining. 8 are in the mainland U.S. and one location in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.
