REI packing up Alderwood location for move to bigger store in Lynnwood
LYNNWOOD — REI is closing its Alderwood mall location after 21 years in favor of a new, larger space in an outdoor shopping center in Lynnwood.
The move is part of REI’s plan to expand retail operations nationwide as it aims to improve its financial footing. The current store at the mall will close 3 p.m. Sunday, vacating the location it has occupied since 2004.
Officials of Brookfield Properties, which manages the mall, did not respond to requests for comment.
The new 39,480-square-foot store — almost double the footprint of the current location — will open 10 a.m. March 28 in the Alderwood Parkway Plaza Shopping Center, 3000 184th St. SW, Lynnwood. The location used to house a Dick’s Sporting Goods outlet.
