I wish that was the case. I called the local number and got a voicemail
message from the manager (I recognized his voice), left in February, stating
they were beginning their "going out of business liquidation sale."
Calling the Beaverton store (up by Portland) retrieves a similar message
left yesterday, so it appears that the entire company has gone belly up.

I do remember a conversation with one of the employees last year, in which
he mentioned that business was slowing down, so perhaps this had been in the
works for awhile.

That's interesting. We have at least four stores in the Vancouver, BC
area (not Vancouver, Washington) that cater to hobbiests and industry,
and all are busy when I visit!

www.mainelectronics.com
www.rpelectronics.com
www.leescomponents.com
www.interiorelectronics.com

They all seem in good shape...

And they are indeed handy to have around when you need something right
now! Soldering station tips, tools, various project boxes,
etc...everything the hobbiest or small repair shop needs to get the job
done.

Now mind you one other store did close recently - Active Componenets -
who were the retail store for Future Electronics, but they were never
busy when I dropped in.
