The deal also includes JCPenney locations in Bellingham, Southcenter near Seattle and Clackamas Town Center near Portland.

SEATTLE — JCPenney is selling its Kennewick store as part of a nationwide sell-off involving 119 stores. The retailer announced the $947 million transaction last week, stating that the Boston-based private equity firm, Onyx Partners, Ltd., will purchase the properties. The move comes five years after JCPenney filed for bankruptcy.

JCPenney has sold 119 stores to an affiliate of Onyx Partners. It's unclear thus far what this will mean for those sites.
