The final remaining Bartell Drugs location in downtown Seattle at 5^th Avenue and Olive Way closed permanently on Thursday. Saturday morning, a crew from National Sign Company was busily removing signage and covering up the 鈥淏ARTELL DRUGS鈥� name on the exterior of the building; later, they planned to remove a neon sign from the interior wall above the pharmacy.

With the closure of this location, it鈥檚 believed the 鈥淏ARTELL DRUGS鈥� name is gone from the streets of downtown Seattle for the first time since 1890. The Bartell family sold聽the company to RiteAid in 2020.

Before the closures: Will anything change when Bartell Drugs isn鈥檛 local anymore?
