Overlake is an interesting area. Redmond to the east, and the Bellevue Collection to the west. Right along 520, which now needs a toll to cross from Seattle. The store probably had a lot more Seattle traffic before the tolls started. And before Costco and Target opened stores in Seattle. Also the perceived cost of being in Bellevue - I used to prefer shopping in Northgate to Bellevue.
Setting up the H&R Block(head) office inside that Overlake Sears was my first job in IT.
