Today I went to the Everett Mall to kill some time and see if I could find a lightweight jacket in a smaller size at Macy's.
I knew they had been doing some "updating" and remodeling on what used to be the scourge of malls here in the North end of Seattle. I was hopeful that it would become a good alternative to congested Alderwood.
The Everett Mall has most of the usual suspects: Orange Julius, Claire's, Cinnabon, Wet Seal, Spencer's Gifts, Bath & Body Works, a Piercing Pagoda, and a contingency of lower end throw-aways like Bosswear and Lady Bosswear (neither of which actually sell Boss), A+ Nails, and a bunch of off-brand cell phone shops and kiosks. A Macy's and a Sears anchor the mall at either end.
Even with the attempt at modernizing ("fresh/fun" logo and business hotel style design) it remains dismal and depressing. As Helen would say, they have "polished the turd". I'm afraid the regentrification isn't working.
I did find a cute jacket though...
