Vacant Bartell finds new tenant

By JOURNAL STAFF

Since the bankruptcy of Rite Aid, its corporate parent, Bartell stores have been steadily closing around the region. One example is in East Bellevue, at 11919 N.E. Eighth St., near Wilburton Station and Lake Bellevue. Khorram Family Investments has owned the 12,023-square-foot building for over a decade, and began seeking a new tenant earlier this year. Over the summer, the sign appeared for furniture retailer Bassett, which is part of the Seldens furniture chain. The Selden family, now in its fourth generation of management, announced the new Bellevue showroom will open this month, with a formal celebration on Jan. 11. Jake Cross, part of the family, said in a statement, “By expanding our presence in Bellevue, we're giving families here the chance to experience Seldens' renowned service and Bassett's commitment to quality.” Seldens has other stores carrying its own brand in Bellevue, Olympia and Tacoma, plus two Summer House outdoor furniture showrooms in Bellevue and Tacoma. In Redmond, the old Seldens location closed to make way for Mill Creek Residential's 418-unit Modera Bel-Red, which should start soon. (Some may recall that Seldens acquired Masins furniture in 2015, not long after the latter store shuttered in Pioneer Square.) Seldens was founded in Tacoma in 1940, and has its headquarters today in Bellevue.
