This prospectus supplement may add to, update or change the information in the accompanying prospectus. If information in this prospectus
supplement is inconsistent with information contained in the accompanying prospectus, this prospectus supplement will apply and will supersede that
information in the accompanying prospectus.
It is important for you to read and consider all information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus in making your investment decision. You should also read and consider the information contained in the documents to which we
have referred you in "Where You Can Find More Information" in this prospectus supplement.
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes in
any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. Neither the delivery of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, nor
any sale made hereunder, shall under any circumstances create any implication that there has been no change in our affairs since the date of this prospectus
supplement, or that the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is correct as of
any time subsequent to the date of such information.
The distribution of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the offering of the notes in certain jurisdictions may be
restricted by law. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer, or an invitation on our behalf or the
underwriters' behalf, to subscribe to or purchase any of the notes, and may not be used for or in connection with an offer or solicitation by anyone, in any
jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation.
In this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, unless otherwise stated, references to "Nordstrom," "we," us," "our" and the
"Company" refer to Nordstrom, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. With respect to the discussion of the terms of the notes on the cover page, in the
section entitled "Summary" and in the section entitled "Description of the Notes," the words "Nordstrom," "we," "us," "our" and the "Company" refer only
to Nordstrom, Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries.
Notice to Prospective Investors in the European Economic Area
Neither this prospectus supplement nor the accompanying prospectus is a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation (as defined
below). This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus have been prepared on the basis that any offer of notes in any Member State of the
European Economic Area (the "EEA") will only be made to a legal entity which is a qualified investor under the Prospectus Regulation ("Qualified
Investors"). Accordingly, any person making or intending to make an offer in that Member State of notes which are the subject of the offering
contemplated in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may only do so with respect to Qualified Investors. Neither Nordstrom, Inc.
nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of notes other than to Qualified Investors. The expression "Prospectus
Regulation" means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS--The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should
not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more)
of: (i) a retail client as

defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended ("MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97
(the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II;
or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No
1286/2014, as amended (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has
been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the
PRIIPs Regulation.

The Company
Founded in 1901 as a retail shoe business in Seattle, Nordstrom later incorporated in Washington State in 1946 and went on to become
one of the leading fashion retailers based in the U.S. We aspire to be the best fashion retailer in a digital world by remaining focused on our
customers, serving them through our three strategic pillars: providing a compelling product offering, delivering outstanding services and experiences
and leveraging the strength of the Nordstrom brand. We offer an extensive selection of high-quality brand-name and private label merchandise
focused on apparel, shoes, cosmetics and accessories. No matter how customers choose to shop, we are committed to delivering the best possible
service, product and experience, including alterations, dining and styling, to make shopping fun, personalized and convenient.
We invested early in our omni-channel capabilities, integrating our operations, merchandising and technology across our stores and
online, in both our Full-Price and Off-Price businesses. As of August 3, 2019, we have more than 60 combinations in which merchandise is ordered,
fulfilled and delivered. Though this has enabled us to serve customers in multiple ways, we are focused on providing a seamless experience for our
customer across stores and online. As a result of the evolution of our operations, our reportable segments have become progressively more integrated
such that, in the first quarter of 2018, we changed our reportable segments to one reportable segment to align with how management views the results
of our operations.
As of August 3, 2019, our reportable segment, Retail, includes:
Full-Price

· 113 Nordstrom-branded full-line stores in the U.S.,

· Six full-line and six Rack stores in Canada,

· Full-Price Nordstrom.com website and mobile application,

· Trunkclub.com website and six Trunk Club clubhouses,

· Three Jeffrey boutiques, and

· Three Nordstrom Local neighborhood hubs ("Nordstrom Local").
Our Full-Price operating segment integrates Nordstrom full-line stores and Nordstrom.com to allow us to provide our customers with a
seamless shopping experience. We engage with our customers on their terms, blurring the lines between the digital and in-store experience. Our
customers can pick up online orders in our Nordstrom full-line stores if inventory is available or it can be shipped to that location. Full-Price also
includes our full-line and Rack stores in Canada. We include our Canada operations in Full-Price as this is how we view and manage our operations
internally. Trunk Club offers personalized styling services for men and women,

S-4
Table of Contents
which enables customers to shop and try on at home, paying only for what they decide to keep. Customers may also choose to shop using these
personalized styling services in-person at our clubhouses. We provide customers with the same quality merchandise available at Nordstrom full-line
stores and online. Nordstrom Local is a retail concept that is focused on services, providing customers convenient access to personal stylists,
alterations, online orders and more. Trunk Club stylists are able to meet customers at select full-line and Nordstrom Local locations. We also leverage
the expertise of our salespeople to enable customers to receive personalized product recommendations on their mobile phones through our digital Style
Board selling tool. These capabilities allow us to better serve customers across various channels and improve sales.
Off-Price

· 242 Off-Price Nordstrom Rack stores in the U.S.,

· Off-Price Nordstromrack.com/HauteLook website and mobile application, and

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/72333/000119312519284979/d787939d424b5.htm[11/6/2019 8:49:59 AM]

424B5

· Two Last Chance clearance stores.
In Off-Price, Nordstrom Rack and Nordstromrack.com purchase merchandise primarily from the same vendors carried in our Full-Price
channel and also serve as outlets for clearance merchandise from the Full-Price channel. Nordstromrack.com/HauteLook offers both a persistent
selection of Off-Price merchandise, as well as limited-time flash sale events on fashion and lifestyle brands, and is integrated with a single customer
log-in, shared shopping cart and streamlined checkout process. Nordstromrack.com combines the technology expertise of HauteLook with the
merchant expertise of Nordstrom Rack.
Fiscal Year
We operate on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31st.
Return Policy
We have a fair and reasonable approach to returns, handling them on a case-by-case basis with the ultimate objective of making our
customers happy. We have no formal policy on how long we accept returns at our Nordstrom full-line stores or Nordstrom.com. Our goal is to take
care of our customers, which includes making returns and exchanges easy, whether in stores or online, where we offer free shipping on purchases and
returns. Trunk Club accepts returns within five days of delivery, which are free for the customer if the items are returned in the box provided by Trunk
Club with the original price tag and packaging. Our Nordstrom Rack stores and Nordstromrack.com/HauteLook generally accept returns of apparel,
footwear, accessories and HauteLook home products up to 45 days from the date of purchase or date of shipment with the original price tag and sales
receipt. Off-Price merchandise can be returned by mail or at any Nordstrom Rack store location.
Seasonality
Our business, like that of other retailers, is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Our sales are typically higher during our Anniversary Sale in
July and the holidays in the fourth quarter. Beginning in 2018, our Anniversary Sale occurred in our second fiscal quarter. In 2017, our Anniversary
Sale occurred in our second and third fiscal quarters. Results for any one quarter are not indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal
year.
Loyalty Program
We evolved our customer loyalty program with the launch of The Nordy Club in October 2018, which incorporates a traditional point
system and the favorite benefits of our previous program, while providing

S-5
Table of Contents
customers exclusive access to products and events, enhanced services, personalized experiences and more convenient ways to shop. Customers
accumulate points based on their level of spending and type of participation. Upon reaching certain point thresholds, customers receive Nordstrom
Notes, which can be redeemed for goods or services offered at Nordstrom full-line stores, Nordstrom.com, Nordstrom Rack and
Nordstromrack.com/HauteLook. Nordstrom cardmembers can also earn rewards at Trunk Club. The Nordy Club member benefits will vary based on
the level of customer spend, and include Bonus Points days and shopping and fashion events.
We offer customers access to a variety of payment products and services, including a selection of Nordstrom-branded Visa® credit cards
in the U.S. and Canada, as well as a Nordstrom-branded private label credit card for Nordstrom purchases. When customers use a Nordstrom-branded
credit or debit card, they also participate in The Nordy Club and receive additional benefits, which can vary depending on the level of spend,
including early access to the Anniversary Sale, Nordstrom to You (an in-home stylist) and incremental accumulation of points toward Nordstrom
Notes.
Competitive Conditions
We operate in a highly competitive business environment. We compete with other international, national, regional and local retailers,
including internet-based businesses, omni-channel department stores, specialty stores, off-price stores and boutiques, which may carry similar lines of
merchandise. Our specific competitors vary from market to market. We believe the keys to competing in our industry are what will always matter
most to our customers: providing compelling product and outstanding service backed by people who care, both digitally and in stores. This includes
serving customers on their terms, by providing a seamless digital and physical experience, offering compelling, curated and quality products at
multiple price points, and strategically partnering with relevant and limited distribution brands, all in top markets.

424B5
Supply Chain Network
Our "Supply Chain Network" consists of:

· Fulfillment centers that process and ship orders to our customers, located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania; and

San Bernardino, California,

· Distribution centers that process and ship merchandise to our stores and other facilities, and

· Omni-channel centers that both fulfill customer orders and ship merchandise to our stores.
We have expanded our Supply Chain Network facilities and enhanced our inventory management systems to support our omni-channel
capabilities and provide greater access to merchandise selection and faster delivery. We select locations and customize inventory allocations to enable
merchandise to flow more efficiently and quickly to our customers.
Full-Price online purchases are primarily shipped to our customers from our Fulfillment Centers but may also be shipped from our
Nordstrom full-line stores or Omni-channel centers. Full-Price in-store purchases are primarily fulfilled from that store's inventory, but when
inventory is unavailable at that store, it may also be shipped to our customers from our Fulfillment Centers, Omni-channel centers, or from other
Nordstrom full-line stores. Off-Price online purchases are shipped to our customers from our Fulfillment Centers. Both channels selectively use
vendor dropship to supplement their online offerings, which are then shipped directly from the vendor to the end customer. Our first large-scale
Omni-channel center, in Riverside, California, is expected to open in the spring of 2020 and will initially support our Full-Price customers in the
West Coast region. Off-Price inventory and fulfillment will be added to this facility in the future. We also plan to open a smaller Local Omni-channel
Hub in Torrance, California in 2019, which will support the greater Los Angeles market as part of our new local market strategy and will have highly

Inventory
We plan our merchandise purchases and receipts to coincide with expected sales trends. For instance, our merchandise purchases and
receipts increase prior to our Anniversary Sale, which has historically extended over the last two weeks of July. We also purchase and receive a larger
amount of merchandise in the fall as we prepare for the holiday shopping season (from late November through December). At Nordstrom Rack, we
also invest in pack and hold inventory, which involves the strategic purchase of merchandise from some of our top Full-Price brands in advance of the
upcoming selling seasons, to take advantage of favorable buying opportunities. This inventory is typically held for six months on average.
In order to offer merchandise that our customers want, we purchase from a wide variety of high-quality domestic and foreign suppliers.
We also have arrangements with agents and contract manufacturers to produce our private label merchandise. We expect our suppliers to meet our
"Nordstrom Partnership Guidelines," which address our corporate social responsibility standards for matters such as legal and regulatory compliance,
labor, health and safety and the environment. This is available on our website at Nordstrom.com.
Employees
During 2018, we employed approximately 71,000 employees on a full- or part-time basis. Due to the seasonal nature of our business,
employment increased to approximately 76,000 employees in July 2018 and 74,000 in December 2018. All of our employees are non-union. We
believe our relationship with our employees is good.
