The Valley Mall opened in 1972, under the ownership of engineering firm Morrison-Knudsen. It was purchased in 1980 by First Union Real Estate Investments for $8.9 million and later sold to Center Oak Properties in 1999.[1][2] The mall was expanded by 260,000 square feet (24,000 m2) in 2002, siphoning major retailers and customers from the Yakima Mall in the city's downtown.[3] The Yakima Mall closed in 2003.[4]
The mall's Sears store closed in December 2022 but reopened the following year.[5]
