History

Northgate Mall opened with eighteen stores to instant success in 1950.[1][not in citation given][2] Northgate was the first of three Puget Sound-area malls developed by Allied Stores (parent company of The Bon Marché) and designed by Seattle architect John Graham, Jr. The development was built over part of Thornton Creek, on land that had been a cranberry bog in Maple Leaf neighborhood. [3][4] Northgate was the first regional shopping center in the United States to be described as a mall, in this instance a double row of stores facing each other across a covered pedestrian walkway. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...

In 1952, Redmond sculptor Dudley C. Carter designed and carved the 59-foot cedar totem pole that decorates the grand entrance to the mall. The mall was originally anchored by The Bon Marché (renamed Macy's 2005). In retail, an anchor store, or draw tenant, is one of the larger stores in a shopping mall, usually a department store in a major retail chain, such as Macys or JCPenney. ... The Bon Marché, roughly translated as the good market, was the name chosen for a Seattle, Washington department store launched in 1890 by the Nordhoff family. ... Macys Northwest, Seattle, Washington, is a division of Federated Department Stores. ...


Other tenants signing on early that still exist were National Bank of Commerce (bought by Norwest, renamed Wells Fargo), locally-owned Nordstrom shoes (which opened a full-fledged anchor store in 1965), and later JCPenney and Lamonts. After the aquisition of the Lamonts department store chain by Gottschalks in 2000, Gottschalks was located at Northgate Mall until September 2006. It closed after six years due to underperforming sales, and the former location is currently under construction to become a Bed, Bath, & Beyond. The Norwest Corporation was a large bank corporation in Minneapolis with offices in many states until, after buying Wells Fargo of San Francisco in 1998, it changed its own name to Wells Fargo and moved its headquarters to San Francisco in 2000. ...

Capitalizing on Northgate's success, Allied Stores commissioned Graham to design the fully enclosed Tacoma Mall, which opened in 1964, and Tukwila's Southcenter Mall in 1968. Northgate was enclosed in 1974. By 1980, there were 123 stores. Construction began summer 2006 on a 100,000 square foot addition to the mall and is scheduled to be completed in 2008.[2] Anchor stores are Nordstrom, Macy's, and J.C. Penney.[5] Nickname: Location of Tacoma in Pierce County and Washington State Coordinates: , Country United States of America State Washington County Pierce Government  - Mayor Bill Baarsma (D) Area  - City 62. ...

Expansion

In 2006, Simon Properties embarked on an expansion of Northgate Mall in part because of the city's plan for revitalizing the Northgate neighborhood. The expansion plans include a new "urban-village" at the western end of the mall, a parking garage at the south end of the mall (joint-usage as mall parking and transit parking), new anchor stores, and renovation of the existing mall.
