South Sound Center — Local services in Lacey

I may be showing my age here, but I remember when this was a fully enclosed mall, with Sears, Woolworth's (I miss that lunch counter) and the Bon(?) as anchors. I spent time at Olympic Cards & Comics and ate at the DQ that was across from it.

If you know where to look, the fountains and inner mall are still visible from the back of the stores.

The current mall is essentially Target, Kohl's and Sears. Sears is falling apart, hardly can shop there anymore, as it's a sad reminder of what happens to a good company not able to adapt to changing times.

Mervyn's was on the other end. Woolworths was in the middle, with a cookie shop right next to it, they made the best chocolate cookie with a chocolate marshmallow topping! The Mouse House during Christmas! I remember them holding a huge Pogs tournament! Pogs! Lol! I worked at the mall for a while when all the stores were closing. Wow the surge of memories coming back!
