- "About the only thing to do in this town is kill time at the shopping mall. "
- —Ed, during the helicopter ride
The Willamette Parkview Mall is the main setting of Dead Rising. The mall is located in the heart of the town of Willamette, Colorado as the center of entertainment. The mall at the time was undergoing several renovation projects, specifically in the North Plaza, as the mall prepared to celebrate its third anniversary (as heard from the automated public address announcements). The mall features six different areas and seventy-nine shops, as well as a movie theater, a supermarket, a gym, two hardware stores and a gun shop. There is a sewage tunnel underneath the clock tower in Leisure Park which is uncovered by a helicopter crash and is used by Frank and Isabela to escape the mall when the Special Forces invade. Any location outside of the mall is inaccessible to Frank.

Willamette Incident
Edit
On September 19th, some survivors of the zombie outbreak took shelter in the mall and began to barricade the doors of the Entrance Plaza. Lindsay Harris saw her dog Madonna outside and opened the doors, which allowed the zombies to enter the mall. The zombies quickly invaded and killed all but a few of the survivors in the Entrance Plaza: Frank West, Dr. Russell Barnaby, Brad, Carlito, the mysterious Isabela and Cheryl Jones. With an entrance into the mall, zombies quickly spread to the other areas of the mall, feasting on those who didn't flee in time. Otis Washington welded the Security Room door shut, preventing zombies from invading and creating a safe zone for survivors. With Frank West finding himself trapped in a zombie infested mall, he goes out to get his big scoop to find out the truth behind the zombie outbreak. After gathering information through cases and scoops throughout the mall, he finds out the deranged psychopath who started the nightmare and why, and stops his final plan...or so he thought.

Trivia
Edit
- This mall appears in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars, staged after the Entrance Plaza.
- October 10, 2006 marks the 3rd year anniversary of the opening of the Willamette Parkview Mall, as indicated in an announcement, making October 10, 2003 the opening day.
- Dave Wittenberg voices some of the announcements that are played in the mall.
- It is possible to shoot zombies outside with a firearm via shooting through the windows in any plaza.
- It is possible to see Al Fresca Plaza from the cutscene where Frank West tells Ed DeLuca to get him on the rooftop of the mall, as you see him flying over to it, look closely to the left hand side, and you should see the open aired Al Fresca Plaza.
- The mall will appear in the upcoming 3DS game Project X Zone.
- The Willamette Parkview Mall is very likely based on the two-story Clackamas Town Center, located in Clackamas, OR, in the Willamette Valley region of Oregon. The mall is located near the confluence of the Willamette & Columbia Rivers. From its opening in 1981 until April 24th, 2003, Clackamas Town Center was home to the skating rink used by the disgraced former ice skater Tonya Harding, and has been remodled since. Local folklore states that the word "Willamette" comes from the Clackamas Indians (a sub-set of the lower Columbia Chinook Indians), meaning "Valley of Sickness & Death"...although the accuracy of the legend is highly disputed.
