[edit] History

The two-level enclosed mall, with 1.2 million square feet of retail space opened in 1981. Original anchors included JCPenney, Meier & Frank, Nordstrom, Sears and Montgomery Ward, an ice rink and a movie theater. The mall remained largely unchanged until Montgomery Ward went bankrupt and closed their store in 2001. Meier & Frank acquired the former Ward building and opened a home store in 2002 in the upper level, while leasing out the lower level to Copeland Sports. The ice rink closed 2003, the movie theater closed in 2005, while Copeland in its turn closed in 2006.

General Growth Properties acquired a half-interest in the property in 2002 and assumed management. A major redevelopment began in 2005 that will add 250,000 ft² to the center. As part of the construction the former ice rink was gutted. The expansion will add approximately 40 new stores and restaurants, many in a new lifestyle center on the south side, and a new 75,000 ft², 20-screen Cinemark multiplex theater. It is expected to be finished by the end of 2007.

A MAX light rail line is also planned to terminate here. MAX service planned for September of 2009.

[edit] Trivia

The mall became famous in the early 1990s when figure skater Tonya Harding practiced on the mall's now-removed ice skating rink.
