Sea-Tac Mall Television ad - August 1981

[552mustang]

When I grew up going to Federal Way Schools (in the 80s/ 90s), the demographics of Star Lake/ Totem/ TJ were around 90-95% white. I remember you could count the minorities on one hand at all of Star Lake around 1987. Now it's like 40% white, and 60% minority, black and hispanic. The ghetto essentially moved to South King County and the middle class people moved north. It's a really sad thing when the places you remember have completely changed to trash.

There's a Good Reason People Get Shot, er, Come Back........to Sea-Tac Mall! Brings back old memories of me as a kid and a teenager going to Sea-Tac Mall! I can't believe they call it "The Commons of Federal Way" now.
