I believe it will open on the 25th because that is when the huge expansion opens.

Two MAC stores in WA? Holy cow. The world may implode. Did we ever think we would see the day?

Not to mention this is Nordstrom country, so we are up to our ears in MAC!

(now if only we got a Pro store...)

I think we may have had a chance in the past, when the movie/tv industry was begining to discover and fully utilize Seattle. Unfortunately, Seattle just got too expensive and cumbersome to film in (congestion/permitting), so now most head to BC or other areas of Canada to film. So not a big chance of a pro store in our immediate future, if I had to guess (please let me be wrong!!).

On that note, personal pet peeve: I hate it when I see a movie that is supposedly set in Seattle, but the more you watch, you realize it is set in BC. Not that there is anything wrong with BC, it's lovely, I just have massive amounts of Seattle pride. I hate movies filmed in "fake Seattle".

BTW, in case you didn't notice: I MY SEATTLE!!!

I seriously never thought we would get a freestanding store! Now we just need one at Bel-Square!

Doooode, MAC store at Bell Square. HEAVEN. We have one of the more rockin' Sephoras there, now we just need a MAC store.

I don't know when we'll get back exactly. DH and I are working on getting out there as soon as we can. God, now I am craving breakfast at the Maltby Cafe despite the fact that it is 2 atm. lol

^Bell Square is doing an expansion, I know that they're getting a B&BW next year and a lot of other good stores.

Where is it going? Srsly...where is there any space left? That part of Bellevue is stuffed like a fat guy in a pair of Speedos (as in no room left)! lol

Does anyone know if the Larry's market in Bellevue is still open? I thought I heard the one in Kirkland shut down.

^My dad worked for Larry's for 20 years and he left in early 2006 right before they went out of business. I dunno if they went out, I know that the Oak Tree location is now an Asian market. I LOVED Larry's, I remember going to the company picnics at Coulon Beach Park (in Renton) and getting the fresh local strawberries in every year. Ironically, the Bellevue store was the one I never went to. My dad worked at Oak Tree, Totem Lake, Queen Anne (he opened that), and Redmond (opened that too) and then also did some stuff at the offices in Tukwila.

As far as the B&BW, it's going to be a huge one because it's a high density store and figure it will be about the size of Alderwood, which is about 1.5 times the size of Northgate, where I work. Just to put it in perspective, when we reopened last July, we were the largest store in the state til Alderwood reopened.
