“Much like the human centipede, this is like a building centipede all connected butt to mouth feeding one another. I really connected with this place. If you want an intimate connection come meet someone here... At the Bellevue connection.”
“I've been to Bellevue Square a couple of different times but usually it was more of a goal oriented task to get to a certain place and a thorough walk through of the mall didn't take place for quite a few years until recently by Steve and myself.When we went here a couple of weekends ago I went in with the expectation to see a Versace store and things that are really upper crust because Bellevue is a very wealthy city with Microsoft and other tech companies here and all. But instead of upper crust it was more high end. Don't get me wrong. This is the most higher class mall in the Seattle area but not exactly the stores you may see in the Forum Shops in Las Vegas or Rodeo Drive. But further thought told me that Bellevue is more business oriented rather than vacation oriented where one bloats and indulges with food and shopping and after that thought dawning on me it made sense where store after store here had monochromatic colors for their clothing which in the end was quite banal and looked like you are at least dressed for the gentrified cookie cutter. There are some stores that I do associate upper crust here like Kate Spade and a few others and a few stores that we enjoyed like a Pacific Northwest souvenir store, a chocolate boutique, the Psycho Bunny clothing store and an ice cream shop. After we were finished at Bellevue Square we went to another area of town and stumbled across Louis Vuitton and a Gucci store at another shopping center called The Shops At The Braven so that definitely requires a stop on another trip as those were kind of the stores I was expecting to see at Bellevue Square. Perhaps then I can see how people of Bellevue lavish with money growing out of their ears since this indeed is the city where prospective home buyers will offer cold, hard cash for a home that is over a million dollars.Aside from the shopping and browsing the mall looks healthy and robust which isn't a huge surprise and very few shop vacancies were spotted by myself as well as looking very clean and modern on the inside. The outside of the building looks aged but that is far from a deterrent from bringing in throngs of shoppers.”

“It's a great place for all your shopping needs, with a welcoming community atmosphere. Although there are some homeless individuals and panhandlers in the parking areas at night, there is generally good security provided by local police and private security services. The area offers a range of dining options and a Walmart Neighborhood Market for everyday household necessities.”
“Crossroads Bellevue is more than just a shopping center, it’s a vibrant community hub that brings together culture, food, and everyday convenience in one welcoming space. One of the biggest highlights is the food court, which offers an impressive variety of cuisines from around the world. From Asian and African dishes to Caribbean, Middle Eastern, and classic American comfort food, there truly is something for everyone. The food feels authentic, freshly prepared, and reasonably priced, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors.
Beyond dining, Crossroads features a mix of small local businesses and well-known stores, giving the center a unique personality you don’t often find in traditional malls. The layout is open and easy to navigate, with plenty of seating areas where people can relax, chat, or simply enjoy the lively atmosphere. It’s a great place for families, friends meeting up, or anyone looking for a casual place to spend a few hours.
Parking is generally easy and accessible, and the location is convenient for those living in or visiting Bellevue. What truly sets Crossroads apart is its diversity, you’ll hear different languages, see people from all walks of life, and experience a genuine sense of inclusion. It’s not flashy or upscale, but it’s warm, energetic, and full of character. If you’re looking for variety, good food, and a place that reflects the community it serves, Crossroads Bellevue is absolutely worth visiting.”
“It's a mall. It has some really nice stores. However, I was looking for a pair of shoes for a wedding. I went to every shoe store and a major store and didn't find anything.”
“Went to Pet Smart to get dog food. Took Marty inside with me. Grabbed a cart to haul big bag of dog food. Marty was inspecting each aisle while I tried not to tip the cart over. At check-out, I mentioned I was going to put Marty in the car and come back for the food. The cashier kindly offered to carry the 30# bag to my car! Very accommodating store.”
“Super convenient if you live nearby— the Starbucks has good vibes and is a nice third place to work. The Town and Country has the nicest staff ever and has a great selection of reasonably priced grocery items, but beware: they always have new unique things to buy, so you may overspend!
Parking is easy too”

“The agent helped a lot. I've been with this insurance company for ten years, and you can't find cheaper car insurance than what they offer. They always call you back, because they care about you.”
“Habitat for Humanity ReStore is the best! The associate there named Janet is always so kind and helpful! She’s so great! And they always have amazing furniture for super low prices!”
“Great store nice workers there. Fast check outs available at night. Stays open til 12 am most nights what can I say bad about this place? Not much really like going here.”
“Very nice shopping if you like high end products. Very high-end clientele. If you’re into photography, the Leica store is your store. There are only seven Leica owned stores in the United States and you can fine one right here!!!”
“... 'new to the area currently in "full project mode" meaning I'm doing calethestics everywhere and this time I did 5reps of push ups all up thru there. The areas out in the open look clean enough. S/O to the city for beautifying Bellevue?. #victorylaps?”
“Love their food here. Their Ramen is very good and you can get a low sodium version. Can custom order it too! I always order Their salad, Their salad dressing is so refreshing and flavorful. Also we always order Their chicken garage and Their deep fried squid from their small plate menu. Tried their fried rice this tome and enjoyed it.”
“There is nothing special about this shopping center. The evergreen tree, however, is special because it stays green all year. The pagans worshipped them around the winter solstice near Germany. One thing not taught in the schools about Pagans is that they loved making fun of each other and drinking. They would commonly laugh until they fell on the ground, but not to worship the Sun God Ra. Nope. They couldn't breath from laughing so hard. They also loved fur rugs and coats and plus mead or honey wine. Below average Godliness for a people. Not sure how popular this shopping center is with pagans or if holiday decorations are evil or not. But I do hate hanging up lights and tree sap on my steering wheel and mittems.”
“Factoria Mall is a convenient and approachable shopping destination that offers a good balance of retail, dining, and everyday services. One of its biggest strengths is how easy it is to navigate, unlike larger malls that can feel overwhelming, Factoria Mall has a relaxed layout that makes shopping feel straightforward and stress-free. It’s an ideal place to run errands, browse a few stores, or grab a quick meal without committing an entire afternoon.
The mix of stores covers a range of needs, from clothing and essentials to dining options that work well for both quick bites and casual sit-down meals. The mall is generally clean and well maintained, which adds to the overall pleasant experience. Parking is usually manageable, especially compared to busier shopping centers, making visits feel more convenient and less rushed.
On weekends, the mall can get busy, particularly during peak shopping hours, but it still tends to feel more manageable than larger, more crowded malls in the area. Overall, Factoria Mall is a solid choice for anyone looking for a comfortable, low-key shopping experience that combines convenience, variety, and ease of access.”
“Skybridges connect everything which is nice.
The 21 plus for adults because of alcohol movie theater was also pretty nice. Though the reclining seats do have the disadvantage for those wearing dress slacks of being a risk for phones in pockets falling out and being eaten by the seats Make sure you check underneath the area between the seats if that happens to your phone. I had to lift the bottom cushion up and search on the sticky floor with my hand to find it thankfully I had a friend there with me who had a different phone to use as flashlight and also to call my phone so we kept looking in the right spot.
PS remember to ask for your parking to be validated so you can park in Lincoln square instead of across the street at Bellevue Mall.”
