[edit] History

The two-level enclosed mall, with 1,200,000 square feet (111,000 m²) of retail space opened in 1981. Original anchors included JCPenney, Meier & Frank, Nordstrom, Sears, and Montgomery Ward, an ice rink and a 5-screen 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 sq ft (23,000 m²) to the center. As part of the construction the former ice rink was gutted. The expansion added approximately 40 new stores and restaurants, many in a new lifestyle center on the south side, and a new 75,000 sq ft (7,000 m²), 20-screen Cinemark multiplex theater. The renovation also put in tranquility ponds, new flooring, lighting, furniture, escalators, elevators, handrails, and exterior upgrades. It was completed in late 2007.

A MAX light rail line is also planned to terminate here in 2009.
