They went under too, though, only to be replaced by Lowe's - know locally as "Less of what Eagle Stocked". Purely a "home improvement" store. Our last hardware store is Tacoma Screw, which is not open on weekends - when we typically discover we need those kinds of things.

Pay'n'Pak. And those hydros were good, but I preferred Atlas Van Lines. Or O Boy Oberto.
