You don't have to pay for parking if you park in the mall parking lot, and it's not far. If you park, it's 32.00. If you get a small bite at a resteraunt inside, they will reimburse the parking cost. Of course the resteraunts are expensive so might be best to park in the mall parking lot. We do that, as and it's about a five minute walk. Well worth it!
Also, if you park at the mall parking lot, wait outside Chili's restaurant entrance (door 4 I believe) and you can get on the Complex Shuttle bus and it will bring you directly to the Cascades entrance.
