Answer by Joe
Westfield Southcenter Mall

Answer by ASeductiveCamel
Don’t listen to joe, people get shot in Southcenter. Stop by the city of Snohomish, (Cool place), Renton, (Good for comic books, glass blowing, antiques, etc..), ANYWHERE in bellevue. And maybe just downtown seattle if you like the big citys.

Southcenter (now called Westfield) is my favorite, and has almost everything. I like SuperMall, too, but it’s a bit small.

If you’re looking for some unique places, then Pike’s Place has some REALLY awesome little shops and booths. Not to mention that it’s a very important Seattle right of passage.

I don’t know of any shootings at Southcenter… that was at the Commons.
