With its official name shortened to BELLEVUE SQUARE, the center
was expanded throughout the 1950s and '60s. Here we have a composite
plan, covering the years between 1956 and 1967. J.C. Penney had
opened a dry goods only store in 1955. This was followed by a second
(larger) Frederick and Nelson. The third anchor of the original shopping
center, Nordstrom Best, came inline in late 1967.
