General Growth Properties owns 7 Washington malls

General Growth Properties says shoppers won't notice financial restructuring at the 220 malls it owns, including seven in Washington.
Those are Westlake in Seattle, Alderwood at Lynnwood, Bellis Fair at Bellingham, SouthShore in Aberdeen, Three Rivers in Kelso, and NorthTown and Spokane Valley at Spokane.
The nation's second-largest mall operator filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New York early Thursday after it failed to persuade a majority of its debt holders to give it more time to refinance billions of dollars in debt.
The Chicago-based company warned last fall it might have to seek bankruptcy protection.
