Toys R Us may have been gone but never forgotten. When ours Toys R Us first came to the Yakima Valley in the mid-late 90's it was a dream come true for many of us. Especially those of us who grew up watching cartoons on KSTW Channel 11 based out of the Seattle/Tacoma area that would often not only run commercials for Toys R Us but also feature those shopping spree contests...
Well, it's official now. Toys 'R' Us let its employees know it's going to sell or close ALL of its stores, because it just can't compete with sites like Amazon anymore. This includes Babies R Us. If you've got a gift card, make sure you use it NOW. Those gift cards will be worthless once the stores close.
What a fantastic day it was for the United States Marine Corps, Toys R Us and all the kiddos who stopped by to check out the military vehicles and equipment. People came in droves to donate new, unwrapped toys as Toys For Tots kicked off this year's campaign.
The Marines are landing!
That is, they're launching their annual Toys for Tots campaign this Saturday (Nov. 5) at the Union Gap Toys R Us, 1401 E. Washington Ave.
