[edit] Kinokuniya Bookstore

The first mention of Kinokuniya comes from the main paragraph about the new Uwajimaya location, thus implying that the Kinokuniya was new to the new location. I know that Kinokuniya had most, if not all, of the upper floor of the old location, but I have not been able to find any information verifying that this was the case, or even when the Kinokuniya in the old location opened. I strongly suspect it was in the '78 expansion, but this is just a guess on my part so is not worth adding to the actual article. If anyone could find a reliable source for when the Kinokuniya Bookstore opened in the Seattle Uwajimaya it would be great to get that information added

I've gone ahead and updated the article with information about Kinokuniya Bookstore. I also corrected some innaccuracies in some of the dates given in the article. The Beaverton Uwajimaya location was opened in 1998, erroneously quoted as 2000 in the Portland Tribune article cited. The new Uwajimaya Village complex opened in 2000.

Great, I should have double checked the Beaverton date, which I see how is easily verified from the Uwajimaya web site. It would be good to get a citation for the Kinokuniya date if possible, as well as a bit more info on the now closed Southcenter store.
