The original developer was Harry Newman of Newman Properties. SeaTac Mall opened in 1975 on a forested, swampy pasture that was the homestead of Mabel Webb Alexander, who arrived in Washington in 1879 and died at age 96. For many years the original SeaTac mall used a thunderbird in the logo and had a mascot, Thudius T. Thunderbird.
The original Cinnabon opened in the SeaTac Mall in December 1985.
In order for airplanes to make their gradual descent into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, they use the mall as a reference point to line up with the runway further north on clearer days.
