West end

Tacoma Mall isn't particularly large, so it doesn't take long to get to the Nordstrom end of the corridor. This is a much more typical mall anchor entrance space, though everything beyond the end of the peaked roof was added in the 00s when Nordstrom built their new store -- it's a pretty seamless addition, especially compared to what Southcenter looks like these days! The business off to the right with the giant line out front is Sharetea, a place that (as the name implies) pretty much just sells tea-based drinks -- not something of particular interest to me as someone who pretty much only ever drinks water, but it's always nice to see a mall place that's highly successful!
