Town Center at Lake Forest Park

About

Town Center at Lake Forest Park (formerly Lake Forest Park Towne Centre) is a shopping center that also serves as the community hub for the city of Lake Forest Park, Washington. It is located on the eastern side of Lake Forest Park, on the western shore of Lake Washington in a suburb of Seattle on Bothell Way NE beside City Hall. The southeast side of the center abuts the Burke-Gilman Trail.

Town Center at Lake Forest Park is anchored by Third Place Books, Safeway, Ross Dress for Less, and Planet Fitness and features almost 250,000 square feet (23,000 m2) of gross leasable area on 18 acres. Third Place Books, a general interest bookseller offering more than 200,000 new, used, and bargain books, occupies a large portion of the mall and is adjacent to a food court. Third Place Commons, a community-supported non-profit, manages a large and flexible space next to the bookstore and hosts community groups and hundreds of free events each year. On the stage, the Commons welcomes author events, music and dance recitals, town halls, and sponsors free live music every Friday and Saturday night.
