With 47 stores, the Factory Stores at North Bend claims not

to be just a stopping point while traveling from one place to another, but

a destination in itself.

“We are a community-type center,” said manager Vicki Curnutt.

“And we plan to stay that way. We are in the most beautiful setting of all the

malls in Washington, and we have a great tenant mix.”

The mall, located along Interstate 90 at the North Bend exit, offers

a variety of goods at 20 to 70 percent off retail price in all its stores.

Along with well known names such as London Fog, Nike, The

Gap, adidas, Oshkosh B’Gosh, Jockey and others, the mall is also home to

Black & Decker, Fieldcrest Cannon, Toy Liquidators and a host of specialty

and variety shops.

From clothing to tools, kitchen products to jewelry, toys to

vitamins, leather products to books, perfume shops to home accessories and

luggage to a chocolate factory, you’ll find just about anything you need or

want at this mall.

Known for unique and often one-of-a-kind items in its upscale

specialty shops, Curnutt said many people drive long distances just to shop at

the mall.

Whether visiting in the area or just passing through, a stop at the

Factory Stores at North Bend is a treat you will want to repeat.
