Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits should not be reported as cash and cash equivalents.

Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits should not be reported as cash and cash equivalents.

| Basis of Presentation | NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the balances of Nordstrom, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies described and applied in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and reflect all adjustments that are, in management's opinion, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 29, 2011 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures contained in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of our financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Our business, like that of other retailers, is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Due to our Anniversary Sale in July, the holidays in December and the half-yearly sales that occur in the second and fourth quarters, our sales are typically higher in the second and fourth quarters of the fiscal year than in the first and third quarters. Accordingly, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-02, A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. This ASU clarifies existing guidance on whether a loan modification constitutes a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") for accounting purposes, and requires certain disclosures related to TDRs. The provisions of this ASU will be effective beginning with our quarter ending October 29, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU clarifies existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements, amends certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. We do not expect the provisions of this ASU, which are effective for us as of the beginning of 2012, to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |

| Acquisition | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Acquisition | NOTE 2: ACQUISITION On March 23, 2011, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of HauteLook, Inc., an online private sale retailer offering limited time sale events on fashion and lifestyle brands. We believe the acquisition will enable us to participate in the fast-growing private sale marketplace and provide a platform to increase innovation and speed in the way we serve customers across channels. The terms of this acquisition included upfront consideration of $180 in Nordstrom stock and an "earn-out" provision for up to $90 of additional consideration payable in Nordstrom stock over a three-year period, subject to HauteLook's performance in meeting certain targets for sales and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). HauteLook's results of operations are included in our consolidated results from the acquisition date, and were not material to our consolidated results for the first quarter of 2011. We have not presented pro forma results of operations for periods prior to the acquisition because HauteLook's results of operations were not material to our consolidated results for any previous period.
Purchase Price Both the $180 upfront payment and the $90 earn-out consideration include amounts attributable to HauteLook employees that are subject to ongoing vesting requirements. These amounts will be recorded as compensation expense as the related service is performed over the respective employee vesting periods of up to four years after the acquisition date. The remaining (non-compensation) consideration was measured at its acquisition-date fair value to determine the purchase price, as summarized in the following table:
The $153 upfront component of the purchase price consisted of 3.5 shares of Nordstrom common stock at a closing stock price of $42 per share on the acquisition date. Earn-out payments will range from $0 to $90, also in Nordstrom common stock, with amounts attributable to the purchase price ranging from $0 to $75 and to post-acquisition compensation of $0 to $15. We estimated the $42 acquisition-date fair value of the earn-out attributable to the purchase price using a valuation model (see Note 5: Fair Value Measurements), and recorded this amount in other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We will adjust the recorded earn-out obligation on a quarterly basis to the extent our projections change based on HauteLook's actual performance or other factors, with a corresponding charge to expense or credit to income. If HauteLook achieves the maximum performance thresholds, we will incur additional expense of $33 over the next three years associated with adjustments to the recorded earn-out obligation, compared with $42 of income if the minimum targets are not met. Net Assets Acquired We allocated the total purchase price of $195 to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. As a result of the purchase price allocation, we recorded intangible assets of $62 and goodwill of $146, offset by other net liabilities of $13. Intangible assets consist of $27 of trademarks/trade names, $20 of technology and $15 of customer relationships. We estimated the fair values of the acquired intangible assets based on discounted cash flow models using estimates and assumptions regarding future operations and cash flows. We will amortize the acquired intangible assets over their estimated lives of two to seven years on a straight-line basis, which approximates the pattern of expected economic benefit. We expect to record total amortization expense of $54 associated with these intangible assets over the next five years, including $16 in 2011. Goodwill of $146 is equal to the excess of the purchase price over the net assets recognized and represents the acquisition's benefits that are not attributable to individually identified and separately recognized assets. These benefits include our expected ability to increase innovation and speed in the way we serve customers across channels, HauteLook's assembled workforce including its key management and the going-concern value of acquiring HauteLook's business as a whole. We assigned this goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes, to our Retail segment. |

| Accounts Receivable | NOTE 3: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The components of accounts receivable are as follows:
Other accounts receivable consist primarily of credit and debit card receivables due from third-party financial institutions and vendor claims. Activity in the allowance for credit losses for the quarters ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010 is as follows:
For purposes of determining impairment and recording the associated allowance for credit losses, we evaluate our credit card receivables on a collective basis as they are composed of large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans and therefore are not individually evaluated for impairment. Under certain circumstances, we may make modifications to payment terms for a customer experiencing financial difficulties in an effort to help the customer avoid bankruptcy and to maximize our recovery of the outstanding balance. These modifications, which constitute a troubled debt restructuring, include reduced or waived fees and finance charges, and/or minimum payments. Receivables classified as TDRs were $54, or 2.7% of our total credit card receivables as of April 30, 2011, $56, or 2.7% of our total credit card receivables as of January 29, 2011 and $51, or 2.5% of our total credit card receivables as of May 1, 2010. As with other aged receivables in our portfolio, the allowance for credit losses related to receivables classified as TDRs is primarily based on our historical aging and delinquency trends and write-off experience, with qualitative consideration of factors affecting the credit quality of our portfolio, including amounts of and trends in TDRs. Credit Quality The primary indicators of the credit quality of our credit card receivables are aging and delinquency, particularly the levels of account balances delinquent 30 days or more as these are the accounts most likely to be written off. The following table illustrates the aging and delinquency status of our credit card receivables:
We also evaluate credit quality using FICO credit scores. The following table illustrates the distribution of our credit card receivables across FICO score ranges:
1Credit scores for our cardholders are typically updated at least every 60 days. Amounts listed in the table reflect the most recently obtained credit scores as of the dates indicated. |

| Debt and Credit Facilities | NOTE 4: DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES Debt A summary of our long-term debt is as follows:
Our interest rate swap agreements (collectively, the "swap"), which have a $650 notional amount maturing in 2018, are intended to hedge the exposure of changes in the fair value of our fixed-rate senior notes due in 2018 from interest rate risk. Under the swap, we receive a fixed rate of 6.25% and pay a variable rate based on one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 2.9% (3.1% at April 30, 2011). The swap is designated as a fully effective fair value hedge. As such, the interest rate swap fair value is included in other assets or other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, with an offsetting adjustment to the carrying value of our long-term debt (included in other unsecured debt in the table above). See Note 5: Fair Value Measurements for additional information about our swap.
Credit Facilities As of April 30, 2011, we had total short-term borrowing capacity available for general corporate purposes of $950. Of the total capacity, we had $650 under our commercial paper program, which is backed by our unsecured revolving credit facility ("revolver") that expires in August 2012 and $300 under our Variable Funding Note facility ("2007-A VFN") that expires in January 2012. As of April 30, 2011, we had no issuances under our commercial paper program and no borrowings under our revolver or our 2007-A VFN. The revolver includes certain customary financial covenants. As of April 30, 2011, we were in compliance with these covenants. |

| Fair Value Measurements | NOTE 5: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting standards:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2: Other observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data Level 3: Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions We estimated the fair value of our interest rate swap based upon observable market-based inputs for identical or comparable arrangements from reputable third-party brokers, adjusted for credit risk (see Note 4: Debt and Credit Facilities for additional information about our swap). We estimated the fair value of the HauteLook earn-out liability using a valuation model based on our expectations of HauteLook's future performance, estimates of volatility around those expectations and the risk-adjusted discount rate. Prior to the acquisition of HauteLook in March 2011, we did not have any Level 3 fair value measurements. Financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt, including current maturities and excluding the value of our interest rate swap, was $3,062 as of April 30, 2011, compared with a carrying value of $2,755. We estimated the fair value of long-term debt using quoted market prices of the same or similar issues. We also measure certain non-financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, primarily long-lived tangible and intangible assets in connection with periodic evaluations for potential impairment. We recorded no impairment charges for these assets for the quarters ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010. |

| Contingent Liabilities | NOTE 6: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES We are subject from time to time to various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business including lawsuits alleging violations of state and/or federal wage and hour laws. Some of these suits purport or may be determined to be class actions and/or seek substantial damages and some may remain unresolved for several years. We believe the recorded reserves in our consolidated financial statements are adequate in light of the probable and estimable liabilities. As of the date of this report, we do not believe any currently identified claim, proceeding or litigation, either alone or in the aggregate, will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Since these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, our view of them may change in the future. |

- Definition
Aggregate awards of share options and nonvested shares to be issued to an employee under a share-based compensation arrangement are considered options for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share. Such share-based awards shall be considered to be outstanding as of the grant date for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share even though their exercise may be contingent upon vesting. Those share-based awards are included in the diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) computation even if the employee may not receive (or be able to sell) the stock until some future date. Accordingly, all shares to be issued shall be included in computing diluted EPS if the effect is dilutive. The dilutive effect of share-based compensation arrangements shall be computed using the treasury stock method. If the equity share options or other equity instruments are outstanding for only part of a period, the shares issuable shall be weighted to reflect the portion of the period during which the equity instruments were outstanding.
