This mall was built in 1977, kicking off the commercial development in this part of Bellevue. It was never a particularly high-end mall, anchored by a bunch of non-traditional and lower-end tenants even when it was built. In the 2000s, it was starting to look like a dead mall, and was almost redeveloped and largely torn down before the recession killed those plans. Here's a great blog post showing the lows of the mall back in 2007. Thankfully, it has rebounded somewhat since then, and while I doubt it will ever be all that upscale, it it certainly doesn't feel like a dead mall any longer.
