| Photographer | Wallen, Don
|
| Date | 1974 |
| Historical Background | On April 21, 1950, the Northgate Shopping Mall opened at NE Northgate Way at 5th Avenue NE in Seattle. It was the country's first regional shopping center to be defined as a "mall". The stores face "a wide shopping walkway, probably to be known as the Mall or Plaza, in which no vehicles will be permitted". The success of the Southcenter Mall in Tukwila spurred Northgate to enclose the covered mall in 1974 to provide a climate-controlled environment. |
