CVS Health Corp. is trying to buy stores and patient data from Rite Aid Corp., the beleaguered pharmacy chain that is going out of business after filing for bankruptcy a second time earlier this month. Meanwhile, other retail giants, including Walgreens Boots Alliance, are bidding for some of the pharmacy's other assets.

In the Pacific Northwest, Rite Aid's assets are garnering interest from pharmacy rival CVS Health, according to a report in Bloomberg.

CVS Pharmacy has announced its plans to acquire hundreds of Rite Aid stores across the country, with many of them operating in Washington and neighboring states.
