History

The Outlet Collection Seattle opened on August 25, 1995, under the name "Supermall of the Great Northwest". [3]

Its anchors then included Nordstrom Rack, Bed Bath and Beyond, Oshman's SuperSports USA (Later Sports Authority until 2016), Burlington Coat Factory, Saks Fifth Avenue (later Old Navy and Ulta Beauty), Marshalls (later Dave & Buster's) and Incredible Universe. [4] In its first year of business, the mall contained 175 stores and drew more than 14 million customers. [5] By 1998, Saks Fifth Avenue and one fifth of the stores had closed. [6]

The Incredible Universe store on the north side of the mall was closed in 1997 after the company's demise; it was converted into a Sam's Club with 154,000 square feet (14,300 m2). [7] Walmart moved to a new Supercenter location on the north side of the mall complex in October 2010 and agreed to manage the sale of its old locations on the west side of the mall. [8] The old building was purchased by Coastal Farm and Ranch, an Oregon-based chain of outdoor and farm retail stores. [9] The store composition at the SuperMall was later dominated by outlet stores, which led to a $30 million renovation to move the food court and add pedestrian corridors in 2012. [10] Several strip malls and restaurants were also constructed on the perimeter of the mall.[ citation needed ] In May 2012, the outlet mall was renamed The Outlet Collection Seattle to reflect its new focus. [11]

The Sam's Club location closed in January 2018 as part of the company's withdrawal from the Seattle market. [12] It was replaced by FieldHouseUSA, a multi-purpose indoor sports facility that was scheduled to open in 2020; [13] the COVID-19 pandemic delayed its full opening to 2021. [14]
