Northgate Mall opened with eighteen stores to instant success in 1950. Northgate was the first of three Puget Sound-area malls developed by Allied Stores (parent company of The Bon Marché) and designed by Seattle architect John Graham, Jr. The development was built over part of Thornton Creek, on land that had been a cranberry bog in Maple Leaf neighborhood. Northgate was the first regional shopping center in the United States to be described as a mall, in this instance a double row of stores facing each other across a covered pedestrian walkway. (also the first mall to have public restrooms.)
In 1952, Redmond sculptor Dudley C. Carter designed and carved the 59-foot (18 m) cedar totem pole that decorates the grand entrance to the mall. The mall was originally anchored by The Bon Marché (renamed Macy's 2005).
Other tenants signing on early that still exist were National Bank of Commerce (bought by Norwest, renamed Wells Fargo), locally-owned Nordstrom shoes (which opened a full-fledged anchor store in 1965), and later JCPenney and Lamonts. After the acquisition of the Lamonts department store chain by Gottschalks in 2000, Gottschalks was located at Northgate Mall until September 2006. It closed after six years due to underperforming sales, and the former location is currently the home to DSW Shoes and Bed Bath and Beyond.
Capitalizing on Northgate's success, Allied Stores commissioned Graham to design the fully enclosed Tacoma Mall, which opened in 1964, and Tukwila's Southcenter Mall in 1968. Northgate was enclosed in 1974. By 1980, there were 123 stores. Construction began summer 2006 on a 100,000-square-foot (9,300 m²) addition to the mall and was completed in Early 2008. Anchor stores are Toys "R" Us, Nordstrom, Macy's, J.C. Penney, and Bed Bath and Beyond.
In 2006, Simon Properties embarked on an expansion of Northgate Mall in part because of the city's plan for revitalizing the Northgate neighborhood. The expansion plans included a new outdoor "urban-village" on the western end of the mall facing Interstate 5. This village opened in November 2007
