ITEM 8.01 Other Events

On February 25, 2011, Erik B. Nordstrom, Executive Vice President, President,
Stores of Nordstrom, Inc. and Peter E. Nordstrom, Executive Vice President,
President of Merchandising of Nordstrom, Inc. each adopted a stock trading
plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Under Rule 10b5-1, directors, officers and other employees who are
not in possession of material non-public information may adopt a pre-arranged
plan or contract for the sale of Company securities under specified conditions
and at specified times. Using these 10b5-1 plans, individuals can gradually
diversify their investment portfolios, spread stock trades out over an
extended period of time to reduce market impact and avoid concerns about
transactions occurring at a time when they might possess material non-public
information.

Erik Nordstrom's 10b5-1 plan provides for the sale of up to 15,615 shares to
be acquired through the exercise of stock options which are scheduled to
expire in February 2012 and for the sale of up to 31,148 shares to be acquired
through the exercise of stock options which are scheduled to expire in
February 2013. Shares may be sold under Erik Nordstrom's plan on the open
market at prevailing market prices and subject to minimum price thresholds
specified in his plan.

Peter Nordstrom's 10b5-1 plan provides for the sale of up to 52,106 shares to
be acquired through the exercise of stock options which are scheduled to
expire in February 2012. Shares may be sold under Peter Nordstrom's plan on
the open market at prevailing market prices and subject to minimum price
thresholds specified in his plan.

Transactions under the 10b5-1 plan will be reported to the Securities and
Exchange Commission in accordance with applicable securities laws, rules and
regulations. Nordstrom does not undertake to report Rule 10b5-1 plans that may
be adopted by any officers or directors in the future, or to report any
modifications or termination of any publicly announced trading plan, except to
the extent required by law.
