Brian: thanks for dropping by! so basically Factoria Mall has always been just around average at best. They should develop it, otherwise tenants won't come and neither will customers. Which I guess is much better than Totem Lake which looks very hard to revitalise, if they insist on keeping the land for a shopping mall. dreymer: no worries! though it’s kinda sad to see a place you know well change for the worse isn’t it?

Even now, Factoria Mall still has a decent amount of traffic (the Target store and the discount stores which don't appear to be going anywhere anytime soon ensures that) and most of the closures appear to be the result of non-renewed leases in preparation for the redevelopment of the property. Totem Lake, on the other hand, has declined fast, and at this point who knows what's going to become of it? There has been no word on anything with regard to the redevelopment plan for that particular mall in two years now, and in that time they've lost two more anchor stores. I don't think it'll ever become completely empty, but I wouldn't be surprised to see DDR (the current owners) give up on it and sell it off to someone else before anything actually happens there. Thanks for the links, BTW. -Brian http://thesledgehammer.wordpress.com In the time I’ve been here Factoria Mall has never really thrived, but it hasn’t gone down the tubes to nearly the extent that Totem Lake has.

I used to shop at Factoria Mall all the time when I was living in Seattle. It's so sad to see how it has become. Thanks for the interesting post. It has brought back memories of the good ol' carefree days. OMG. I used to shop at Factoria Mall all the time when I was living in Seattle. It’s so sad to see how it has become.

Unless we can recycle everything, and use everything in manageable ways, the mere presence of our species is damaging. So let's hope technology catches up with our destructive behaviour soon.

Too Bad our Space program is not that advance. If, we could find another "Earth" to inhabit will let Terra to "rest" I remember when I was young, we learn about reforestation.

That is why even though nuclear energy sounds good and all for solving our energy crisis, eventually there will be no space left on Earth to store the waste. And then what? Pollute the space in our solar system? Yeah nuclear waste is the biggie.

Amazing! And amazingly sad that it's virtually impossible to get rid of nuclear waste. Wow, that’s a very interesting and educational post! Amazing!
