Some stores will be allowed to stay open if they provide essential services, including those on the outer perimeter.[1]
Winmar also built an adjacent strip mall called Cross Court, featuring a Target store.[4] The opening of the mall caused many stores to close in nearby Anacortes.[5] The Emporium store later became a second Bon Marché before both Bon Marché stores were re-branded as Macy's.
In 2012, mall management removed the food court and replaced it with a TJ Maxx.[6]
On October 16, 2014, it was announced that Sears would be closing in January 2015.[7] JCPenney followed suit in 2018.[8] In January 2020, Macy's announced that it would close both of its stores as part of a plan to close 125 stores nationwide, leaving AMC Theatres and TJ Maxx as the only remaining anchor stores left.[9][10]
On June 9, 2020, Cascade Mall announced that it would close permanently as a mall with interior accesss on June 30, citing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in Washington. The interior is set to close, while exterior-facing tenants will be able to continue to operate.[1]
