The Commons at Federal Way (formerly SeaTac Mall) is a regional[1] shopping mall located in Federal Way, Washington, and is the only indoor shopping center in the city.[2] The previous owners, Steadfast Commercial Properties, changed the name to The Commons at Federal Way. Improvements to the shopping center in 2008 were expected to improve sales upon an expected $25 to $30 per square foot ($250-300/m²) by year’s end.[3] Steadfast Companies later sold the mall to San Francisco-based Merlone Geier Partners for $46.5 million in March 2017.[4]
The original developer was Harry Newman of Newman Properties. SeaTac Mall opened in 1975 on a forested, swampy pasture that was the homestead of Mabel Webb Alexander, who arrived in Washington in 1879 and died at age 96. For many years the original SeaTac Mall used a thunderbird in the logo and had a mascot, Thudius T. Thunderbird.
The original Cinnabon opened at SeaTac Mall in December 1985.[5][6]
Today, The Commons at Federal Way has over 90 stores, and features Macy's, Sears, Target, Kohl's, as well as a food court, a Century Theaters complex, and Dick's Sporting Goods which opened in October 2014.[7]
On January 4, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing in April 2018 as part of a plan to close 103 stores nationwide.[8]
