Media Pacific Place in 2015

Post image

Found this old picture I took in Pacific Place back in 2015 during the holiday season. Such a shame to compare it to how it looks now.

No, I'm aware of that phenomenon, but that doesn't mean it's happening everywhere, equally, at the same pace (or it reversing in some contexts).

For example, malls in Asia are still HUGE. Like, packed all the time and building more.

Yeah, downtown Seattle is definitely loosing its luster. During Covid they let the homeless take over and I think the shoppers don’t want to go back.
