Nordstrom has officially confirmed its plans to build a Nordstrom Rack in the space previously occupied by Toys ‘R’ Us at the south end of Northgate Mall, according to our news partners The Seattle Times.
It says the new store will open in November, and cover about 41,000 square feet. From the article:
“Northgate has been a special home to us for over 60 years, and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to add a Nordstrom Rack in such a terrific location in our hometown,” Geevy Thomas, president of Nordstrom Rack, said in a statement, referring to the full-line division’s long-time presence there.
Maple Leaf reader Stu, who told us about the initial plans from May, adds:
TweetOld Northgate Theater demolished (complete), Thorton Place (complete), replacing ToyRUs (in November), a pedestrian bridge to NSCC (approved), just waiting for a Trader Joe’s and light rail and my master plan will be realized.

I agree with Stu, we need a Trader Joe’s badly! If anyone reads this message, please go to the Trader Joe website and submit a request for this zip code, 98125. They track this information, and use it for future planning. The open Space near Big 5 would be perfect too…

YES!
Also, Trader Joe’s! I’d never leave Maple Leaf again!

Got to agree about needing Trader Joes! I will get on the website and vote. Thanks Holly!

I’m all for a Trader Joe’s too. I think they’d be crazy not to consider it once light rail goes in and all the development goes in.

Since I found the location request form a little tricky to find on Trader Joe’s website I thought I’d post the link here:

Maybe we can get a campaign going if enough interest is out there.

I agree Trader Joe’s would be great. I would love to see Old Navy here as well.
