REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Retirement Committee of

Nordstrom 401(k) Plan & Profit Sharing

Seattle, Washington

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Nordstrom 401(k) Plan & Profit Sharing (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2010 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2010 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1. THE PLAN AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General—The Nordstrom 401(k) Plan & Profit Sharing (the “Plan”), as amended, was originally established on January 1, 1953. The Plan is an individual account profit sharing plan, which, since February 1, 1988, has included a 401(k) feature. Participants should refer to the Plan documents for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. The following describes the provisions of the Plan in effect on December 31, 2010 (except as noted), is for informational purposes only, and does not bind the Plan.

The Plan covers substantially all eligible employees of Nordstrom, Inc. and its participating subsidiaries (the “Company”). For Company profit sharing and matching contributions, participation begins on the first of the month coinciding with or following the first anniversary of the employee’s original hire date. For elective salary deferrals (401(k) contributions), participation begins on their hire date.

The Plan also contains special eligibility provisions to ensure that all eligible employees enter the Plan by the latest participation date required under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”). Eligible employees who neither make an affirmative salary deferral election nor affirmatively opt out of the Plan are automatically enrolled in the Plan beginning on the first of the month coinciding with or following the first anniversary of the employee’s original hire date with a salary deferral contribution equal to 2% of compensation. Employees have the option to elect a zero percent salary deferral or to change their salary deferral percentage at any time in accordance with the Plan.

For the Plan years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, to qualify for Company profit sharing and matching contributions, participants must work at least 1,000 hours during the payroll calendar year and be employed on the last day of the Plan year (the “last day” requirement is waived if the participant terminates employment due to retirement, disability or death).

In 2010, the Plan was amended as follows:

— to include the balance of a Participant’s rollover account in applying the dollar threshold for involuntary distributions from the Plan;

— to restore the eligibility for employer profit sharing contributions of participants who are both a Nordstrom family member and a “named executive officer” in the Summary Compensation Table of the Company’s Proxy Statement;

— to simplify the beneficiary hierarchy in situations where a participant dies without a valid beneficiary designation form on file, effective January 1, 2011.

Plan Contributions—Profit Sharing Contributions—The Company’s Board of Directors determines the Company profit sharing contribution, if any, each year. Profit sharing contributions are invested in participant-directed investments or, if the participant does not make an investment election, defaulted into the Nordstrom Select Moderate Fund. The Company’s contribution for each Plan year is allocated based on a weighting of years of service and eligible compensation among the participants who qualify for a profit sharing contribution. For Plan purposes, eligible compensation generally includes taxable salary and wages paid for employee service, including bonuses and commissions and excludes reimbursements and expense allowances, employee awards, fringe and welfare benefits, moving expenses, severance and disability pay, contributions to a nonqualified deferred compensation program and amounts received as stock or under any stock-based compensation program, and is capped by limits set under the Code ($245 for both the Plan years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009).

Employee 401(k) Contributions—Eligible employees may elect to defer eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis, an after-tax Roth basis, or a combination of both. The maximum elective salary deferral percentage for non-highly compensated employees is 50% and for highly compensated employees is 15%. Employees age 50 and over are allowed a catch-up contribution on a pre-tax basis, an after-tax Roth basis, or a combination of both. For all employees, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) limits participant contributions to a maximum of $16.5 ($22.0 for those age 50 and over) in both 2010 and 2009.

Company 401(k) Matching Contributions—The Company intends to match employee 401(k) contributions dollar for dollar up to 4% of the participant’s eligible pay, if approved and at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. Catch-up contributions are not eligible for matching.

Investment Programs—Participants are able to direct the investment of their accounts (including Company matching and profit sharing contributions) among any of the available funds. The available funds as of December 31, 2010 are listed in the supplemental Schedule of Assets (held at end of year). The available funds are regularly reviewed by the Retirement Committee and are subject to change at any time.

Participation in Investment Activity—Individual accounts are credited daily with a pro-rata share of investment income (loss) experienced by the respective funds into which their account balances have been directed.

Vesting in the Plan—Employees who terminate employment due to retirement, death, or total disability are 100% vested in their Plan accounts, regardless of years of service. For purposes of the Plan, “retirement” is defined as ending employment at age 60 or older. On termination of employment for reasons other than retirement, disability or death, the amounts credited to the accounts of participants are vested as follows:

Company Profit Sharing Contributions—Participants are immediately 100% vested in Company profit sharing contributions attributable to Plan years beginning on and after January 1, 2000. For contributions received prior to January 1, 2000, participants are vested 20% after completing three years of service and will be credited with an additional 20% vesting for each additional year of service (1,000 hours of service in a payroll calendar year) until 100% vested at seven years.

Employee 401(k) Contributions—Employee contributions (i.e., salary deferral, catch-up and rollover contributions) are always 100% vested.

Company 401(k) Matching Contributions—Company matching contributions for employees vest as follows: 33% after completing one year of service and 67% after two years of service. After three years of service, all Company matching contributions are 100% vested.

(dollars and shares in thousands)

Forfeitures—Forfeitures of unvested Company matching or profit sharing contributions from terminated participant accounts are used to offset future Company matching contributions, to offset future Company profit sharing contributions, or to pay expenses of Plan administration, as determined by the Retirement Committee. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, employer contributions were offset by forfeitures of $767 and $903.

Benefits—On termination of service, a participant (or participant’s beneficiary in the case of death) may elect to receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution or, if the vested account balance excluding the rollover account (including the rollover account effective April 1, 2010) exceeds $1, elect to remain in the plan, subject to required distributions under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code. When an active participant reaches age 59 1/2 and continues to work for the Company, the participant is eligible to receive a partial or full distribution of his or her retirement benefits.

Payment of Benefits—Benefits are recorded when paid. Amounts allocated to former participants who have withdrawn from the Plan, but have not been paid as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $277 and $57.

Participant Loans—Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms are a maximum of 60 months or up to 20 years for the purchase of the principal residence of a participant. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear fixed interest at rates commensurate with prevailing rates but not less than 1% over the then current prime rate as published by the Wall Street Journal. Interest rates for participant loans outstanding at December 31, 2010 range from 4.25% to 10.5% and are determined at the time the loan is approved. Principal and interest is paid semi-monthly through payroll deductions. Participants may pay monthly upon separation or leave of absence. Payment obligations are suspended for participants during approved leaves of absence not longer than 12 months and during periods of qualified military service. A participant may have a maximum of two loans outstanding at any one time.

Trustees and Administrator of the Plan—The asset trustees of the Plan are Mercer Trust Company (all assets except the Nordstrom Select Funds) and The Bank of New York Mellon (Nordstrom Select Funds only).

The Plan is administered by the Company in conjunction with the Retirement Committee, a committee appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors composed of the following individuals as of December 31, 2010:

—	Mary D. Amundson	Vice President, Employee Benefits
—	Michael G. Koppel	Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
—	Erik B. Nordstrom	Executive Vice President and President – Stores
—	Robert B. Sari	Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary
—	Delena M. Sunday	Executive Vice President, Human Resources and Diversity Affairs
—	Brooke F. White	Vice President, Corporate Communications

Mercer Human Resource Services provided administrative services for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

(dollars and shares in thousands)

Termination of the Plan—Although it has not expressed an intention to do so, the Company reserves the right to suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The Company may determine whether a suspension or discontinuance of contributions will or will not constitute termination of the Plan.

In the event the Plan is terminated, the respective accounts of the participants under the Plan shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable. After payment of expenses properly chargeable against the Plan, the trustees shall distribute all Plan assets to the participants in the proportions determined by their respective accounts.

Tax Status—The IRS has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated September 23, 2009, that the Plan is designed in conformity with the applicable requirements of the Code. The Company and Plan management believe that the Plan is currently designed and operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code, and the Plan and related trust continue to be tax-exempt. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. As the Plan is tax-exempt, the Plan administrator has concluded that as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2008.

Basis of Accounting—The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Fair Value Measurements—The Plan applies Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements.

Risks and Uncertainties—The Plan utilizes various investment instruments, including common stock, mutual funds and investment contracts. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

Other Assets—Prior to 1993, after five years in the Plan, participants were allowed to purchase life insurance with up to 25% of their annual contributions. This option was terminated in May 1992; however, the Plan still holds previously purchased life insurance for participants. These amounts are recorded at the cash surrender value of the life insurance policy.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition—The Plan’s investments are held by the trustees and are recorded at fair value, as follows:

— Common stock is valued at quoted market prices as of the last trading day of the year.

— Nordstrom common stock is valued at the closing market price as of the last trading day of the year.

— Shares of mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices as of the last trading day of the year, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end.

— Common/collective trust funds are valued based on the year-end unit value. Unit values are determined by the issuer by dividing the fair values of the total net assets at year end by the outstanding units. The fair values of the total net assets are determined by the nature of the underlying investments. Each underlying investment is valued at fair value according to its investment type.

— Investments in debt securities are valued using observable inputs, such as observable trade prices, multiple broker/dealer quotes, related yield curves and other assumptions about the securities.

— The stable value fund is stated at fair value then adjusted to contract value as described in Note 4. Fair value is the net asset value of its underlying investments, and contract value is principal plus accrued interest.

— Self-directed brokerage accounts allow participants to invest all or a portion of their contributions into investments of their choice. The fair value is based on the underlying investments, which may include common stock, mutual funds, debt securities and common/collective trusts.

— The Nordstrom Select Funds are investment options to participants that hold the underlying investments which include common stock, mutual funds, debt securities and common/collective trusts. The fair values of the Nordstrom Select Funds are valued based on the underlying investments.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net unrealized and realized investment gains and losses are calculated based upon the fair value at the beginning of the year for investments held at that date and the cost of investments purchased during the year.

Administrative and Recordkeeping Expenses—Substantially all of the administrative and recordkeeping expenses incurred in connection with the Plan are paid by the Plan and allocated per capita to each participant. The amount is reflected on each participant’s quarterly statement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—Effective January 1, 2010, the Plan adopted the required portions of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which included clarifications of existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820. Effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2010, ASU 2010-06 will also amend ASC 820 to require additional disclosures. The Plan does not expect the remaining provisions of this ASU to have a material impact as its requirements are disclosure-only in nature.

Effective December 31, 2010, the Plan adopted ASU 2010-25, Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans. ASU 2010-25 requires participant loans to be classified as notes receivable from participants in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits. Previously, participant loans were classified as investments in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits. In accordance with ASU 2010-25, we have also made this reclassification retroactively for all prior periods presented.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Plan classifies its investments into Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as defined below:

Level 1:	Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2:	Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3:	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable

Transfers of investments between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are recorded as of the end of the reporting period.

¹In 2008, common/collective trusts within the Nordstrom Select Funds were classified as Level 3 investments. Upon the Plan’s adoption of ASU 2009-12 in 2009, it changed the classification of these investments to Level 2 as they are valued using the NAV provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding.

4. STABLE VALUE FUND

The Putnam Stable Value Fund is a stable value fund that is a common/collective trust fund. The fund may invest in fixed interest insurance investment contracts, money market funds, corporate and government bonds, mortgage-backed securities, bond funds, and other fixed income securities. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. Contract value represents contributions made to the fund, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.

The statements of net assets available for benefits present an investment contract at fair value, as well as an additional line item showing an adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive contract from fair value to contract value. Fair value of the contract is calculated by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations.

The average yield at fair value and weighted average crediting rate for the Putnam Stable Value fund at December 31 are as follows:

Certain events may limit the ability of the Fund to transact at contract value. Such events include: complete or partial plan termination or merger with another plan; failure of the Plan or its trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA; transfer of assets from the Fund directly into a competing investment option; or any communication given to Plan participants designed to influence a participant not to invest in the Fund or to transfer assets out of the Fund. Plan management believes that the occurrence of events that would cause the Fund to transact at less than contract value is not probable.

5. EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Mercer Trust Company (previously Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company) has been trustee of all assets of the Plan, with the exception of the Nordstrom Select Funds, since January 1, 2005. The Bank of New York Mellon (previously Mellon Bank, N.A.) has been the trustee of the Nordstrom Select Funds since April 1, 2005. Accordingly, Mercer Trust Company and The Bank of New York Mellon are each a party-in-interest with respect to the Plan. The Plan invested in investment funds managed by Mercer Trust Company and its affiliates during 2010 and 2009. Transactions in these investments qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions because an independent fiduciary (the Plan’s Retirement Committee) causes the Plan to make these investment decisions. Fees paid by the Plan to Mercer Trust Company amounted to $1,883 for 2010 and $1,853 for 2009. Fees paid by the Plan to The Bank of New York Mellon amounted to $201 for 2010 and $213 for 2009.

As the Plan sponsor, the Company is a party-in-interest with respect to the Plan. The Company’s employer contributions to the plan qualify as party-in-interest transactions. These transactions are exempt party-in-interest transactions because a fiduciary does not cause the Plan to participate in the transactions. In addition,

5. EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

there were no reimbursements of direct expenses paid by the Plan to the Company for Plan operations and administration in 2010 or 2009.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Plan held 5,783 and 5,955 shares of common stock of the Company, with a cost basis of $126,628 and $120,018 and recorded dividend income of $4,473 and $3,899 during the years then ended.

6. EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE TO PARTICIPANTS

The Plan is subject to certain non-discrimination rules under ERISA and the Code. For the Plan years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Plan failed certain of the non-discrimination tests under the Code due to lower contribution percentages by non-highly compensated eligible employees relative to the contribution percentages of highly compensated eligible employees. In order to meet the requirements of the non-discrimination rules, the Plan refunded a portion of the contributions made by highly compensated participants, in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code. The refund for 2010, paid in March 2011, totaled $131 and included approximately $16 of investment earnings. The refund for 2009, paid in March 2010, totaled $576 and included approximately $195 of investment earnings. The refunds are recorded as “Excess contributions payable to participants” in the December 31, 2010 and 2009 Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and included in “Benefit payments to participants” on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
