Nordstrom Shopping Memories

The quality of Nordstrom's fashions cannot be beat. Nordstrom Department store brings out some of my fondest memories. As a pre-teen and teenager, my mother and I would shop in Seattle at Nordstrom.

One of the many stores that we would shop at in downtown Seattle was Nordstrom on Washington and Pine, a large upscale store. The main headquarters and flagship store. I loved going into Nordstrom and see all that they had to offer. One could get lost with all the departments. The Seattle store services include Nordstrom Beauty Stylist, Nordstrom Personal Stylist, Prosthesis Program, Spa Nordstrom, Wedding Suite, Fiori Floral Design and Restaurants. Besides the normal shopping for clothes and shoes that, we often would shop for at Nordstrom.

Nordstrom is several shops and restaurants in one. This is a place where we can shop and dine in the same place.

For lunch (about half of the time during our visits), we would eat at the Marketplace Café (one of the restaurants within the store.) The Marketplace has reasonable prices and a nice selection of sandwiches, soups, salads, pizza and specialties.

Once we made reservations for the Grill. This was more pricey than the other restaurant within the store. But well worth it.

It was been many, many years since my teenager days. However, I still remember that the food was very tasty and service was excellent. Present day, I am sure this has not changed as far as delicious food goes.

Very few of our shopping experiences in Seattle included my back to school clothes. Most of the time it was shopping for my mother, she loved her fashions. We would never leave Nordstrom's without a dress, women's top, pants or shoes, or a combination of them all.

Though I cherished the quality time I had spent with my mother shopping, she was quite indecisive on what dress, pants or top to buy. In addition, what did looked the best on her? Very time consuming and wore on my patience. Eventually, I developed how to psych her into believing that the outfit I chose for her looked best (whether it did or not.)

The quality of the clothes and shoes that were bought at this super store was well worth the price.

No longer living in the state of Washington, the closes Nordstrom is in Minnesota and Illinois. This is too long to drive either way. However, I can still shop at Nordstrom online.

If you are lucky enough to live in one of the states that offer the opportunity to visit Nordstrom, you know what a unique shopping experience it is. Nevertheless, if it has not made it out to you yet, like me, you can still have a great shopping experience online.

Often you can find some good deals and specials when shopping online.
