Factoria Mervyns Spring Fashion March 1987
I have several other photos posted thanks to my Dad's photography business (click the lable Richard E. Hawes Studios). These are from the Factoria Mall Mervyn's Grand Opening on March 6, 1987. I'll have more photos to post of this event so "stay tuned".
Spring Fashions dateline . . . March 1987. Colors were both pastel or bright - fun patterns also made a statement. Big shoulders for the ladies. Bold colors and wild patterns for the guys. These shots were taken before the doors opened.
Yo Mickey!

Check out those colorful suspenders!

Seattle Skyline 1987
More aerials taken March 1987 (click here for the Bellevue aerials and here for the Factoria aerials).
These were taken later in the day and the lighting conditions don't appear to be as good for photography but they're still fun to see.
Cascade mountains, Evergreen Point Floating bridge, south tip of Lake Union, Lake Washington, Space Needle, Seattle Center
Columbia Tower, Kingdome
Columbia Tower, Smith Tower, Kingdome
Harbor Island, West Seattle Bridge, Mount Rainier

Factoria Square 1987-1988
I mentioned in my last post about my Dad hiring a pilot to take us around so he could shoot aerials March 1987 in preparation for the Factoria Mervyn's Grand Opening. Here are some of the photos he took of Factoria Square on that trip and when he went again November 1988. Be sure to click on each photo for more detail (and look for the magnifying glass icon.) Mervyn's is the largest white-roofed structure pictured below.
3/7/1987
Facing NE. A few visible landmarks include I 405 (cuts the lower left corner of the photo), I 90 (in the upper left), the LDS Seattle Temple in Eastgate (white structure with peak in the distance), Loehmann's Plaza, and the Cascade Mountain Range.
Facing North. I 405 (upper left) and I 90 (horizontal) interchange
Facing East. Newport Presbyterian Church visible lower right, Sunset Elementary slightly visible top center. Note triangular patch of brush and trees on the other side of I 405 from the church and the swath of trees upper center of photo . . .(see eighth photo)
Facing East. Somerset visible on right.
Facing NE. Visible are Lake Sammamish at the top, Newport High School lower right.
Facing South. Visible are I 90 (horizontal) and I 405 Interchange, Mount Rainier in the distance, Newport Shores on the right and Somerset on the left.
At this time, my Dad doesn't quite recall why he went up again a year and a half later. When I came across these I thought maybe the negatives were dated incorrectly but these photos clearly are during the fall and there has been some construction in the meantime. Including Target which is the large light gray-roofed structure to the right of Mervyn's (white roof).
11/23/1987
Facing West. Seattle in the distant background. The East Channel Bridge and some of the Newport Shores neighborhood are visible.
Facing West. Compare this to the third photo - note the white stairstepped buildings in the upper left quarter, the west parking lot, Target and the new lumber structure that was the across from Target (which was the triangular patch of brush and trees described above across I 405 from Newport Presbyterian)
Similar view as above.
Facing North. Downtown Bellevue's increasing skyline in the background.

Bellevue 1987
My Dad took photos for the Grand Opening of Mervyns in Factoria Square Spring 1987. He had a pilot take him up in a plane March 7, 1987 to get some aerial shots. I got to go along and posted my photos taken with my 35mm camera here. We've just dug up my Dad's negatives (he was shooting a medium format - 120mm) and I'm really enjoying seeing these images from a quarter century ago. I'll have more to share . . . but for today, here are some aerials of downtown Bellevue. Be sure to click on the images for more detail.
Facing East. Safeway, John Danz, Bowling Alley, and Overlake Hospital are a few buildings visible
Facing East. Bellevue Square
Facing SW. Ashwood Elementary, Hyatt Regency land being cleared for construction - Bellevue Downtown park looks like it's under construction, too.
Facing West. Hilltop Neighborhood
Facing West. Bellevue Square
Facing SE Woodridge Neighborhood
Bellevue had already started its growth spurt by 1987 but it was just the beginning!
