Scope and content
Aerial view of Northgate Shopping Center with focus on the red-tinted, multi-stored Bon Marche. Like the Tacoma Mall, the Northgate Mall was located next to the freeway, allowing easy access to the shopping center. It was approximately five miles north of downtown Seattle. Built in 1950, it was Seattle's first enclosed mall. The Northgate Mall offered acres of free parking and as the above December 23, 1967, photograph indicates, thousands were inside trying to finish up Christmas shopping. Photograph ordered by Bell & Stanton, New York City.
