The Fabulous Pacific Place Mall in Seattle

When I first walked into The Pacific Place Mall it was quite by accident. I was making my way to the upper floors of the Nordstrom flagship store when I spotted a bridge walkway leading from the top floor of Nordstrom's across a busy street into another shopping area all together. When I walked across the bridge I found myself gazing around speechless with my jaw dropping to the floor. I was on the fourth floor of a huge five story mall seeing many shops along the perimeter marble walls and shiny marble floors.
The inner sanctum of this mall is a larger and tall circular shaft surrounded by a four foot glass protective wall where you can look up and down the whole Mall and see all of the shops at one time Chanel Sunglasses Wholesale. I must admit though that this view is not for the squeamish person that tends to have bouts with vertigo because you are looking straight up and down, and it is a long way down, The sterile marble atmosphere of this Mall is broken up with plants and trees along the circular walkways, and with the overhead glass ceiling providing a magnificent skylight the Mall gives you the impression of being in a huge open air arboretum as much as being in a first class shopping mall.
The Pacific Place Mall, located at Sixth Avenue and Pine Street in the heart of downtown Seattle is one of the most fantabulous malls I have ever been to with five stories of shopping splendor leading you up from one great level of stores to another culminating on the top floor with some of the finest restaurants in Seattle.
