Alderwood, formerly Alderwood Mall, is a regional shopping mall in Lynnwood, Washington. It is anchored by JCPenney, Macy's and Nordstrom and comprises both a traditional enclosed mall and two open-air areas known as The Village and The Terraces. General Growth Properties manages and co-owns the property with an institutional investor.
Alderwood is Snohomish County's largest mall and one of the major malls in the Puget Sound region.
Alderwood was named after the unincorporated area called Alderwood Manor which is now the city of Lynnwood, Washington where the mall is located.
Alderwood Mall is home to the world's first Zumiez store and the United States' first Daiso store.
Originally opened on October 4, 1979, after over ten years of delays by developer Edward J. DeBartolo Sr. on land originally owned by Allied Stores, Alderwood Mall's anchors included The Bon Marché, Lamonts, Nordstrom, JCPenney and Sears. The mall was later sold to the New York State Common Retirement Fund, which retained DeBartolo's management company to operate the center, and remained essentially unchanged except for the addition of a court and cosmetics renovations in 1995-1996 at a cost of $12 million. After briefly being managed by Simon Property Group following its acquisition of the DeBartolo mall interests in 1996, in 1997 General Growth Properties assumed management of the property. General Growth became co-owner of the mall following the formation of a joint venture with the New York pension fund in 1999.
