BIGMallrat's Editorial Review
 The Mall
at Northgate in San Rafael is Marin county's only enclosed mall (since the remodel
in 1987).
Atmosphere
The Mall at Northgate has a nice interior and
is light and bright. Plenty of skylights let the sunshine in.
Stores
The Mall at Northgate features three anchors:
Macy's, Sears, and Mervyns. You can also find a Rite Aid and a 15
screen cinema, which consumes an entire corridor of stores past the
Mervyns cutoff.
Mostly, you'll find the usual gamut of mid-range national retailers.
There are also a number of stores and services
on the exterior; not accessible from the enclosed portion
of the center.
Food
Most of the eateries are grouped around the entrances
near Mervyn's with food court seating. You'll find a standard fare
of food and drinks, like Sbarro's Pizzaria and Taco Bell. Applebee's
Neighborhood Grill & Bar can be found on the exterior near Macy's.
Location
The Mall at Northgate is located in San Rafael,
CA. From Hwy 101, exit Freitas Parkway/Terra Linda exit. Turn left
at the
second light to Northgate Drive. (The left lanes actually turn in
that direction.)
Renovation plans
Redevelopment has started! All the stores on the
east side of the mall between Macy's and Sears are now closed. A
fresh and updated shopping center is coming soon.
