## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

Walla Walla Town Center, formerly Blue Mountain Mall is a shopping mall located in Walla Walla, Washington. It opened in 1989, and was considered the primary retail destination for Walla Walla and the surrounding area. The mall was demolished in 2017 to make way for the current shopping center. The name of the mall comes from the surrounding Blue Mountains. It featured a Shopko store as an anchor, with three anchors previously occupied by Sears, Troutman's Emporium, and Gottschalks.
