Barnes and Noble in downtown Seattle is a very sad place. The one we have back at home is so different I had trouble believing it was the same chain. I imagine that Amazon delivers within minutes here, plus families with kids don’t live in the business district, so the store is dying. It’s still sad, though.
On the positive side, I bought a crapton of activity books for Klara at a gigantic discount.

B&N is a cookie cutter chain and is “sad” in a lot of places.

It’s worse when there’s no chain bookstore because they are great places to take kids.
