  1. – A nice lounge like Stone Rose in L.A.
    – Rooftop restaurant/bar
    – In-N-Out Burger
    – West Elm
    – A really good Italian restaurant (like Mario Batali’s restaurants)
    – Z Gallerie
    – H&M
    – Club Monaco
    – Trendy AND good Mexican restaurant (like Dos Caminos or Rosa Mexicana in NYC)

  2. I’m with Rachel M…bring back Limited and Bebe. Would love a Zara and Z Gallerie too.

    The Today Show was raving about Five Guys burgers the other day and it looks like our nearest locations are Northgate and Renton so I’m sure the franchisee in this territory is looking at Bellevue.

    I would love to see healthier fast food places like Pret a Manger too.

  3. H&M hands down!!!

  4. Trader joes is great but with whole foods down the street, good luck.

    We will never have a forever 21 or wet seal. That’s what alderwood mall is for.

    I agree we need more actitives beyond shopping, eating and drinking in downtown.

    In term of fast food be happy with your wendys cause that’s all you get, they (Panda express, tace bell…) left for reasons and will not likely be back.
