Discount retailer Big Lots is closing 12 stores in Washington state, including stores in Olympia and Lacey. According to its website, Big Lots has 26 locations in Washington state.

The local Big Lots locations that are closing are at 1515 Marvin Road NE in Lacey, and 2815 Capital Mall Drive SW in west Olympia.

Closures also are planned in East Tacoma, Bellingham, Burien, Covington, Everett, Kent, Lynnwood, Port Angeles, Renton and one of the retailer’s Vancouver, Washington, stores.

Store-closure sales are now advertised at the locations on Big Lots’ website.

The Big Lots in Lakewood and Puyallup and a second Tacoma location at 2401 N. Pearl St. will remain open, along with its Port Orchard store, among others.

News agency Bloomberg reported Thursday that the Columbus, Ohio-based chain was seeking more financing even after receiving a loan earlier this year for up to $200 million. The chain has nearly 1,400 stores, according to regulatory filings.

The Big Lots store closing in East Tacoma was part of the revitalization of a shopping center there six years ago. The location was part of a multi-million dollar makeover in 2018 following the 2017 closure of Kmart, the center’s original anchor.

Big Lots, already at the site, moved into a portion of the former Kmart for a larger space, and a new Grocery Outlet took its former spot at the center.
