Last time I had visited Redmond Town Center was eons ago. Labor Day traffic was manageable via I-5…read more& 520. I decided on spontaneous detour here yesterday before dropping off The Homie elsewhere in Redmond (9/7/26). Convenient free parking while shopping. Ended up walking through and enjoyed the spacious feel, lots of public walkways & seating, and decent variety of retail businesses, eateries, and there's also lodging within the vicinity. Redmond Town Center is comparable to the updated Totem Lake area in Kirkland or University Village in Seattle. Not as cramped as most regional shopping mall destinations. Useful placement of business directories throughout. Clean, well maintained, and felt safe. It has been updated to complement all the new growth and development in the downtown core.

Pupchella -- great idea, but what a mess and frankly a waste of time it was…read more We got there around 2 pm and were done in under 5 minutes. Except for the Tesla booth, no one even bothered greeting us... yes, we brought our cute 7-month-old puppy with us. The music booth planted in the middle of everything was so loud it became obnoxious. Then there was the puppy booth with zero signage -- are they selling puppies or are they a rescue? No clue. The only visible sign said "not fully vaccinated," which raises the question: WHY are the puppies there to begin with? They shouldn't be there as a petting zoo, exposed to random dogs. There were maybe around 10 booths total, and at least 3 of them were just photo-op booths. The "doggy care" booth was especially confusing... what exactly are they even selling? Their setup also had real estate advertising mixed in. Overall, it felt poorly organized, underwhelming, and more geared toward Instagram photos than actual pet community engagement.

You know what, I rock with this mall! I was prepared to be a bit underwhelmed (from LA - not saying…read moreit's better, but I travel a descent amount and I've learned to taper my expectations) but this mall had almost any shop I want! Reformation, COS, Anthropology, Free People, JCrew, Nordy's, and so on. Had an intimate vibe with nooks and cranny's everywhere. People were friendly in the shops. I got lucky with parking right away, so can't speak to how packed it gets but there seems to be a structure for parking. It was pretty full from what I could see. Lots of food in the area, and people walking around. Cute mall and area! If you want Bottega, LV or other brands, there's a shopping center about a mile away that you probably want to drive vs walk to.

Their food/drink stores are also great; they have a variety of different boba stores, which I love! Every store I walk into, I always feel welcomed! I've never ran into any issues or problems at Bellevue Square. I love how they host events for different cultures/holiday events. Finding parking is always easy! And comparing this place to other malls, there's never been any huge incidents or any violent mishaps like (shootings). Bellevue Square always feels safe!

As a foodie, I'm slowly but surely eating my way through this shopping center! I can't say my…read morewallet is happy about it, but I've enjoyed a number of meals here over the years, especially as new spots have popped up. The selection is pretty diverse in terms of types of food - burgers, ramen, pasta, sushi, pizza, Thai (vegan) and more... it's all here! For a little treat, grab ice cream at Salt & Straw, a boba tea from Don't Yell at Me, or a coffee and pastry at 203º Fahrenheit Coffee. It's tough to resist any of these. With this being an outdoor shopping center, it's the most lively during the spring and summer. There is a main outdoor seating area near the cinema and tables here fill up pretty quickly during the warmer months with people who opt for takeout from one of the casual eateries. Across the street, smaller sections of seating are accompanied by fireplaces. I've been grateful for the fireplaces and heat lamps during the wintertime! Other than exploring the food options, I enjoy browsing Nordstrom Rack and could spend hours at the Barnes & Noble. Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are also here. Along with these larger stores, there is a variety of small boutique-like shops, providing an opportunity to support the small businesses. As for parking, the main lot in front of Trader Joe's and Nordstrom Rack get pretty crowded, so I'd recommend parking in the garage on the side of Chase bank. Each parking spot in this garage has a light over it that turns red if occupied and green if available, making it really easy to navigate. With spring right around the corner, I'm sure I'll find myself here again shortly!

This is an example of a well done mixed-use area/center. It has retail, restaurants, office space,…read moreand even residential apartments! I initially had some reservations about finding parking since the outer lots were pretty full and busy due to the Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, but as I walked into the middle of the area, I realized that there were also free parking garages that I could have used. Thoughtfully enough, they even had the number of spaces available displayed on the entrances. This place must get super busy to need that feature! I liked how the greenery was well kempt, and how there were navigational signs so you don't get lost. I went to the Paper Source, Due Cucina, and Don't Yell At Me. Super convenient! I guess the only thing I wished it could have was a better way to travel there through public transportation.

I hadn't realized that there were Chihuly Art Pieces here. Beautiful…read more I went to Woods Coffee, The Paper Source, and The Container Store in Lincoln Square, about 4 months ago now. Service was fine at Woods Coffee and The Container Store; not great, not bad. I was happy that Woods Coffee had Kombuchas for sale, and my Kombucha that I bought there was pretty good. The price was decent for it too, Kombuchas are not super cheap even when buying them at the grocery store, so for a coffee shop in a mall-like area I was satisfied with the price for it. I drink Kombucha often. I love the Container Store, and I could spend hours in there. The selection was excellent. However, despite my enjoyable browsing, I just bought a load of white cardboard boxes that I had pre-ordered to make a maze/playhouse for my cat. I thought his maze/playhouse would look much nicer if I used white cardboard boxes that do not have labels all over them, rather than brown cardboard amazon boxes. Service and selection at the Paper Source were both outstanding. That was my favorite store that I visited here. I bought several items there, and felt super relaxed and welcome while in that store. Very nice area, I would return for sure.

I'll admit I have mall nostalgia, so whenever I step into one, I get a certain feeling. Most Malls…read morethese days are only a small percent of what they once were. Crossroads is sort of a hybrid strip and indoor mall which collectively keep itself going. Crossroads indoor portion is held up by a strong food court, it's "Public Market" with a lot of options - burgers, Mexican, Thai, sushi, Indian, Boba, Korean, Hawaiian and more. On top of that, there are plenty of seats. I'd even go so far to say that the Food Court is the main attraction here and the other stores are secondary, which include Old Navy, Hallmark and other services - Mini Library, information about Bellevue and such. The Mall itself looks kept up and seems to be doing well enough to keep going, so I say that's good. People clearly endorse it. I was here on a weekday afternoon for work. I sat down to take a rest and two separate families walked up with their children and put them in those 'coin-operated riding machines'. Moments before this happened, I asked myself "does anyone use these things anymore?". My question was answered. Crossroads is alive.

KIRKLAND URBAN @ KIRKLAND…read more A place to be at on any weekend where it's sunny! I love this area, it's walkable, easy to navigate, and it's got the best foods you can think of. From quick food like Shake Shack, to sit down restaurants like Dough Zone, there's a lot of places you can't miss. Parking is available for street or in the garage up to 2 hours, i'd recommend parking on street unless you're heading in to QFC for two hours in the garage, you will need it validated. The service in Kirkland is great in every store, everyone is polite and clean.
