Bellevue Square, as we all know by now, is in the midst of some major construction upgrades. Many sections in the mall are now in the process of being re-floored, from the prehistoric brown tile to the new cream colored marble.

In the past week there have been a couple of new things that attracted our attention in the mall. First, it looks like we’ve caught a glimpse of the new stylish silver trash bins that replace the dated concrete looking containers. Secondly, the sky bridge, which takes people from the garage to the mall, is going through some structural and aesthetic upgrades as well.

Aside from the construction and mall upgrades, some new stores have opened, some old stores have closed, and others are coming soon.

New Stores
– Gap Kids has recently moved into a larger location, leaving their old spot next to the Apple store, and moving into what used to be Limited (which recently closed).

Coming Soon- Across the way from Gap Kids is Aldo, the shoe store. From the looks of it, unless they plan to have two stores next to each other, they will open a new store with a new look, one store down. Eileen Fisher, which is currently located in Redmond Town Center, will relocate to a Bellevue Square location on the second floor next to Tully’s.

Closed Stores- New York Cupcakes next to McDonalds and Limited, as mentioned above, have both closed.

    Good point Justin! C’mon Kemper – ya gotta get green!

    I usually avoid the malls like the plague, but my 4 year old daughter Jackie Kennedy http://www.JackieKennedy.biz took me the other day to show me wear I could but some hair bands. I wouldn’t notice any remodeling going on, but right away she picked up on the new flooring … At 4 1/2 she has already spent more time there than I have in 45 years – and I went to jr high right across the street (when it was still an outdoor mall).

  3. Whoa! Check out that white flooring. I’m excited to see that Bellevue Square is finally getting rid of that 70’s brown tile and jumping boldly into the 90’s. Those aluminum trashcans complete the look.

  4. well said, justin.

  5. More photo’s please.. I’m not going to the mall until X-mas time.
