BELLEVUE SQUARE was expanded throughout the 1950s and '60s. Here we have a composite plan, covering the years between 1956 and 1967. The second Frederick & Nelson store is shown, along with a dry-goods-only J.C. Penney. This store began business in August 1958. A third anchor, Nordstrom Best, was dedicated in November 1967.
