I had my doubts, but it looks as though Target really is planning to open a Downtown Seattle store in the near future. The windows are being prepped and everything.
Apparently, it will be called “City Target”, although how this will differ from a regular Target is not entirely clear.
If I had to guess, I would speculate that regular Targets mean that Girl Scouts beg for money out front, while at City Targets, homeless people beg for money out front.
This is just a guess, though.
More likely a “you are here” for terrorist bombers.
Skanska has been working on this place forever. How long does it take to paint, put up some shelves and put in the cash registers? It took them two weeks just to put all that goofy red “City Target” paper on the windows. I’ll bet those Boeing execs moving into the old Wamu building next door can hardly wait!
