According to reporting in LynnwoodToday.com,

Merlone Geier Partners has announced plans to enter into a development agreement with the City of Lynnwood for Northline Village, will include retail, office and residential uses. The development will be located adjacent to Sound Transit’s future Lynnwood City Center light rail station.

“Our plan builds off the hard work done by the City of Lynnwood through the City Center Sub-Area Plan and Planned Action Ordinance,” said Jamas Gwilliam, vice president for development at Merlone Geier Partners.

“With the city’s work to set the stage for this exciting project and Sound Transit’s investment in Lynnwood Link extension, this is a perfect time to begin work on Northline Village and we look forward to hearing from the community about what they would like to see in the project.”

In 2007, the Lynnwood adopted the City Center Sub-Area Plan, which envisions this area as “a central business district with pedestrian friendly streets in a park like environment.”

Merlone Geier Partners owns and manages 16 million square feet of retail on the West Coast, 4.2 million of which is in the Pacific Northwest. Local projects include Shoreline Place (old Sears), Town Center at Lake Forest Park, Shoreline Marketplace on N 175th, Ballinger Village Shopping Center, and Alderwood Plaza across from Alderwood Mall.
