Blue Mountain Mall is a dead mall located in Walla Walla, Washington. It opened in 1989, and was considered the primary retail destination for Walla Walla and the surrounding area. The name of the mall comes from the surrounding Blue Mountains. It features a Shopko store as an anchor, with three anchors previously occupied by Sears, Troutman's Emporium (opened 1992 in a former Fred Meyer), and Gottschalks (originally J. C. Penney). It is situated on 49 acres and has 1,800 parking spaces. In addition to the mall site there is also another 21 acres adjacent ready for future growth. The mall was considered a dead mall in the 2000s as its inline tenants closed, although three of the anchors were still in operation as late as 2007.〔http://whitmanpioneer.com/news/2007/10/04/blue-mountain-mall-remains-on-market-interest-in-sale-grows/〕 By 2012, the mall was bankrupt and closed, and sold on the courthouse steps on September 17 to OREO Corp for $4 Million in back taxes. In late 2013, news reports circulated that the entire property had been purchased by a large mall property development group and would be renovated in time for the holiday shopping season of 2014. A later report issued in September 2014 suggested that work would start sometime in 2015, with an opening date set for sometime in 2016. The report also said a new name had been selected for the mall - the ''Walla Walla Town Center''. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blue Mountain Mall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
