Out in the parking lot, James Center has one of the famous hexagonal Shari's restaurants. At the time I took these pictures, Shari's didn't have any obvious problems yet, but it definitely seemed like they weren't doing all that well, within a segment of the restaurant industry that had long been in decline. In the years since then, Shari's has entered broken chain status, completely exiting their home state of Oregon in 2024 and closing most of their Washington locations in the following years. This one appears to have closed in early 2025, and is now home to a sushi all-you-can-eat place (weirdly enough).
