Nearly every city in Washington, big or small, has a beloved shopping district or village. In the city of Kirkland, where Costco was born, that place is the Village at Totem Lake. While this isn’t the only shopping center in town, it’s certainly the most up-and-coming one. From small local businesses to larger chains, you’ll find a little bit of everything here—and the food scene is decadent and delightful as well.

The Village at Totem Lake is located at 11901 NE Village Plaza in Kirkland, not far from an I-405 Exit.

Ground was broken on the mall in 1972, with stores opening the following year. But by the mid-1990s, stores were moving out, and the area was in serious decline.
