Unsurprisingly, the upstairs "newsstand" department was completely emptied out by this time -- I can't imagine Barnes & Noble had been ordering such time-sensitive things for this store for quite some time due to the closing. The large, prominent periodicals department is an obvious product of this store's 90s construction, when this was probably a highly popular thing in what was one of Seattle's biggest office districts. These days, it seems quaint and old-fashioned, and even real newsstands are quickly going extinct.
