South Sound Center Changes Hands

The South Sound Center in Lacey has a new owner—Tourmaline Capital, a San Diego firm focused on retail revitalization—marking the end of an era for the Blume family, who built the landmark in 1966. The $43M sale excludes Target and the former Sears building, which J&I Power Equipment is still preparing to occupy after a bankruptcy delay, aiming to open by year’s end. Meanwhile, BECU expands into Thurston County with new branches in Tumwater and Lacey, while West Marine’s Olympia store stays open amid national closures.
