I think there's a number of things in play. The fact that there's a large number of addicts hanging out between Westlake and Pike Place makes it not a super fun place to go. This mall also tried to go for the high end stores and there wasn't as much mid tier stores and businesses (IMO) which attracts a larger base of people.
