"We're excited to welcome customers to our beautiful new downtown Seattle location, which features convenient street access and an enhanced shopping experience," said Gemma Lionello, president of Nordstrom Rack. "Seattle has been our company's home for more than a century, and we're proud to continue serving this community with our selection of great brands at great prices. Customers can also take advantage of services like online order pickup from Nordstrom.com and NordstromRack.com, along with easy returns."
The 39,000-square-foot store will be located at 601 Pine St., a historic building owned by a local partnership led by Mike Hess and centrally located at Sixth Avenue and Pine Street in the core of downtown Seattle.
"We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to activate this key corner of Seattle's retail core," said Joanna Callahan, partner at Hess Callahan Group. "Partnering with Nordstrom Rack has been wonderful, and we are working hard to fill the rest of the building with exciting co-tenants."
