The U.S. state of Washington has over 30 shopping malls, primarily in the major metropolitan areas of Seattle and Spokane as well as regional cities. Several shopping malls in the Seattle area, specifically in Bellevue, have positioned themselves as luxury options.[1] Most of the state's large enclosed shopping malls developed in the mid-to-late 20th century, beginning with the 1950 opening of Northgate Mall in Seattle.[2] The largest shopping mall in Washington is Southcenter Mall in the southern Seattle suburb of Tukwila, which has 1.7 million square feet (160,000 m2) of retail space. Other large malls include Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood, Bellevue Square, and Tacoma Mall.[3]
