You can’t miss the bright “store closing” signs in the windows of Bella’s boutique on Market Street in downtown Ballard.

After a year and a half, the women’s clothing store is going out of business. We spoke with the owner who said that the economy is forcing her to close the Ballard location. Her other store in Olympia is doing well, but the Ballard spot just isn’t making money. The going-out-of-business sale starts on Thursday and will continue until everything is sold. Everything will be at least 30% off. (Thanks everyone for the tip!)
