Pacific Place is a mall center in the Downtown area with a sky lighted atrium and is a bit touristy…read morealthough similar places could probably be found in any city downtown. It has dining, a theater and just generally looks like a place to hangout for teens given the shops and seating on the bottom floor. Came here to catch a movie at the AMC and it was a trip going all the way up to the third floor up all the escalators. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from for dining, which is good if you don't want to get any concessions before or after a movie here. The mall is described as "a modern mall with the grandeur of a basilica." It looks well kept up and clean. The Escalators were all functional unlike one of the QFC's I frequent. Parking is available and will run you about $12 which will get you about 3 hours which should be enough for a movie or other patronage here.

I was in the area with a friend perusing the nearby shops after lunch at nearby Taylor Shellfish…read more She wanted to show me this little marketplace and my gosh, can this place be any cuter? It's a hip little indoor market at Capitol Hill with a few restaurants and a handful of retail shops. Although we mainly window shopped and just browsed around, I couldn't help but fall in love with all the lovely aesthetics. There were meats, cheeses, wine, cute little household goods, art pieces, oh my! I also noticed a few familiar names like Sitka and Spruce, a popular restaurant that I stumbled upon while researching 'must eat' spots in Seattle. I wish we had more time to look around. We didn't get to go upstairs, but I'll just have to plan for that on my next visit to Seattle. It's just down the street from the Starbucks Reserve and an easy add-on to any itinerary. Whether you're looking for snacks, coffee, or a complete dining experience -- you'll find something to enjoy here.

I've been coming here for years, and it has become one of my favorite places in the Seattle area. I still remember my very first visit. I was amazed by the number of stores, how clean everything was, and how easy it was to park. Over the years, it has become my go-to place to meet friends for lunch, spend an afternoon shopping, or catch a movie across the street. I know it's a big corporate mall, but somehow it has always felt welcoming to me. This may sound a little silly, but it feels like a place that understands me and takes care of its visitors. Every visit just feels easy and enjoyable. If you love shopping, this is the place. Chanel, Dior, Sephora, Burberry, Tory Burch, Nordstrom--you'll find them all here, along with plenty of great restaurants and places to relax. I've been to malls all over the Seattle area, and Bellevue Square is still my favorite. In my opinion, it's simply the best shopping destination in the region. That line, "This may sound a little silly, but it feels like a place that understands me and takes care of its visitors," is uniquely you. I'd keep it--it gives the review personality and makes it memorable.

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!

I grew up in the 90's when Westlake used to be the place to hang out. There were actual shops and…read morekiosks and the food court was like a Stranger Things 80's vibe with Sbarro's and McDonald's. It really felt family friendly and the candy shop upstairs next to the monorail was packed. I remember wanting to hang out on all levels of this mall and there was Crabtree and Evelyn, B Dalton books, and so many options. I even got my ears pierced here 3 x at Claire's. The wing that connect to Subway and Taco Del Mar was also a hang out spot and it was fun to have a Seattle home base to chill. Westlake was next to Macy's, and Gap was cool back then. I didn't shop there but remember the scent of Heaven and the super perfumy scents of the 90's and Tommy Hillfiger and Nautica jackets that I wore. Jay Jacob's was the spot for Tolo and Winter formal wear and Frederick's and Nelson's felt so bougie but special. I could even get all of my specialty 90's Timberland boots. Over the decades, Westlake reminded me of a mall that was taken over by a post apocalyptic crisis. Shops were empty, the decent ones that made malls cool left such as Foot Locker, and random swap meet looking stores and other junky stores popped up. There isn't the same feel and it feels like a random hodgepodge of leftovers. I remember when Lush was in the mall and the whiff of the essential oils made things feel festive during the holidays. With so many stores and shops having to leave, Westlake is still a shell of its former felt. Who knows what it will look like in the next 10 years. If you're from out of town, I would suggest skipping Westlake. Go to Chop House Row, Melrose Market for indie and local and SouthCenter or Bellevue Square for the all American mall experience.

So it's an excellent place to connect, even during non-mall hours. Came here before mall opening at 10am, and was able to find a side entrance that takes you only to the 3rd floor where you can start your ride on the mono-rail.

UNIVERSITY VILLAGE @ SEATTLE…read more Parking here is pretty difficult compared to a lot of other Seattle shopping areas. There are several free parking lots scattered throughout the Village, so you shouldn't have much trouble finding a spot, though it can get busier on weekends. If the closer lots are full, there's usually still space in the ones further from the entrance, just a short walk in. I came here because I wanted to check out the area close to UW campus, and I'd heard good things about the shops and atmosphere. It's a bit different from your typical outdoor mall since it actually feels like a nice little town, with trees lining the walkways and a really pleasant atmosphere overall. It doesn't feel like you're just walking through a parking lot to get store to store, it actually feels intentional and calming. The variety of stores was great, a good mix of bigger name brands and smaller local shops, so there was plenty to look through. My only complaint is that I wish there were more restaurant and shop options overall. It's not huge, so once you've walked through, you've pretty much seen everything, and I would have loved a few more places to eat or browse. Still, it's a really charming spot and one of the nicer outdoor shopping areas in Seattle. I'd definitely come back, especially if I'm already near UW.

I have been coming to University Village, and its surroundings, in Seattle for approximately over…read more30 years now. The store offerings have changed over the years, though not everything. Parking has been consistently stubborn. The parking garage I used on my visit today, North Garage on Tuesday 24 March 2026, had themed levels. I opted for the C Level which was color of pink and animal of cow. At the elevator, a cow "moo" sounded when I pressed the button for the elevator. By this level, more spaces were opened up, so a better day for parking of recent times. Walkways in the village are open to the natural elements. Some of the businesses have umbrellas available for use in shopping. The grounds and pedestrian spaces have tended to be clean in my experiences. In 2010 and 2011 when I was a student at the University of Washington, I walked to University Village so parking was a non-issue, those were quicker turn around in time visits though I did not have the carrying/storage space of a vehicle.

The kiosks were fun and it was one of the only places I could get a watch chrystal replaced. JC Penney's used to be cool and the smell of Ivars, Subway, Taco Bell and Panda Express brought back the 90's nostalgia of cd's and getting new kicks. Fast forward to 2025 and the indoor mall has been closed for a long time. The only thing left is a shell of Red Robin's, Nordstrom Rack, and the outside businesses such ad chipotle AT and T and Barnes and Nobles. I was reminiscing on Blue Finn buffet, Azteca and Bed Bath. I guess there's lots of remodeling going on and the Kraken ice rink is built which draws a different vibe. It feels more disjointed as a mall and more of a huge lot with random businesses that are mismatched. Target across the way is still going strong but the crime in that area is high. I miss the old Northgate and the community vibe it attracted.

Although Seattle is known for being diverse, with a fair number of ethnic retailers including a…read morevariety of East Asian and Southeast Asian supermarkets, this shopping center is especially popular with Asian and Asian-American locals since it combines many retailers and restaurants under one roof. It's a one-stop shop for groceries, baked goods, bubble tea and other Asian drinks, multiple Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese and Korean restaurants, a Chinese apothecary, and home goods (from furniture and decor to a kitchen stove store), a couple hair salons, a nail salon, karaoke restaurant and last but not least a bank branch. 99 Ranch is a big draw as the largest Chinese supermarket in the nearby area, both it and Mei Wa bakery next door carry Chinese steamed buns and pastries. I'll be honest in terms of selection, prices (and flavors/techniques for Mei Wa), these are kinda average though are enough to satisfy if you have a craving. Mama Dough and Seoul Tofu are solid restaurants from eating at each 2-3 times. Mia Sugarcane produces some delicious sugarcane drinks though nowadays on the pricier side. Boba Tea Lab is pretty standard bubble tea. I've yet to try Big Bowl Spicy Cuisine and several others, including LiuYiShou Hotpot which is one of the newer restaurants, that also has 22 other locations in North America including NYC, SF, Chicago, Boston, and Vancouver and Toronto areas in Canada. All in all very convenient and generally clean and easy to get around. Very popular so during peak weekend times expect a very full parking lot; the spaces are also tight so you have to be careful when parking and opening car doors.
