Lincoln Square South has been in place for 2? years now, and I love this new addition. The parking…read moreis plentiful downstairs; there's a separate South entrance from 4th Street, though I believe the north and south parking are connecting at one or more of the lower parking levels. I never tried to explore cuz walking is just as easy. The Lincoln Square South has added a hotel, Nordstrom Rack, a Gym/Sports venue, an upscale Cinemark with recliners, a food hall, and many new restaurants. My regulars amongst the food options are Duke's and Japonessa, as well as some of the food hall eateries. The coffee shop in the food hall draws a crowd late into the night after dinner, especially since they also have sweets. I commonly come in the later hours and the gates are open at 8pm so validation is no longer needed by the time I'm done and leaving. Do watch for the validation hours so you don't end up paying. If that's an issue, park at Bellevue Square across the street instead and walk over. If it's raining hard, you can walk across the walkway through Lincoln Square North and loop back to Lincoln Square South. It's a good walk for before or after a meal anyway.

This is a shopping center in the Overlake area on the border between Bellevue and Redmond. It is…read moreoccupied by chain store anchor businesses, including Walgreens and Trader Joe's, as well as by AT&T, Petsmart and Potbelly. Parking here is good as there is a sufficient number of spaces available. Although, Microsoft traffic tends to make it difficult to enter and exit easily during rush traffic hours. Otherwise, it is not a problem getting in and out.

The remodeled spaces are new and up to date, but you can still see the early construction of the original building shell. The public space out front is clean and bustling on nice days. It is worth a visit!

There is an adorable garden patio out back with several tables and the menu features a selection of cocktails, wines, and snacks. 1) Service (+): Each server who works here was super sweet and friendly, making great recommendations on the drinks. 2) Ambiance (+): This studio bar might be the Madison neighborhood's best kept secret and every time I come on a weekend, there is always a table available. 3) Alcohol (+): There are many fruity cocktails on the menu that's perfect for the summer weather and selection of wines. I've tried every cocktail on the menu and love all of them! 4) Value for Money (+): The Happy Hour runs even on weekends until 5/6pm and it's an awesome deal!

TL:DR - Everything you need in this mall area…read more There's plenty of parking here for everyone. Great little mall with everything you need. There's Walmart, auto zone, fitness center, Starbucks. Good restaurants in the area including wing stop, little caesars, and the one we chose was "Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya."

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.

Be sure to walk around and explore the entire floor, as there are more than double the amount of space/seats than what I expected initially, just on the first floor. Unfortunately, most of the seats are not equipped with outlets for charging, but the seats are comfy and make a great place to sit down and study or read. I also went upstairs to find even more couch/comfy chairs. The background music is a bit louder on the second floor but people are quieter and there is less commotion there. There are gender neutral bathrooms on both floors, but you need to ask for access at the security desk on the second floor. The security staff were nice and they printed out and gave me a sheet with a QR code that grants access to the restrooms for a few hours.
