Nordstrom is a franchise that began as a shoe retailer and is now one of the most prominent upscale apparel retailers in the USA. This branch in downtown Seattle is their flagship store, and it looks it too. Everything gleams and everything is pretty. In addition to clothes and apparel and accessories for men and women and children, the store also has alteration specialists, stylists, beauticians, a spa, and a wedding store. The restaurants are all expensive and delicious. The coffee bar serves hand-crafted brews. As far as shopping experiences go, this is pretty good.
