We include mention of this complex as an historic footnote. Seattle's NORTHGATE CENTER (NORTHGATE MALL) opened for business in April 1950. Noteworthy as America's -and the world's- first suburban-style mall, it was expanded in 1951, 1965, 1974 and 2007. The complex was acquired by Simon in 1987. It was redeveloped -as an open-air, mixed-use facility- in the early 2020s.
