Shopping in Downtown Bellevue
Every store we profile downtown, from the Bellevue Square anchors to the luxury row at The Bravern — which level it is on, what it actually carries, the parking rules, and our archive on each one.
Downtown Bellevue’s retail lives in a four-block cluster: Bellevue Square, the 200-plus-store center anchored by Nordstrom and Macy’s; Lincoln Square across NE 8th, joined by sky bridge; Bellevue Place to the north; and, two blocks east across the freeway lid, The Shops at The Bravern, where the luxury houses keep their Northwest flagships. Old Main’s boutiques fill in the south end. Almost every store on this page is inside one of those five addresses, and most of them are inside Bellevue Square itself.
This is the directory. If you want the visitor’s version — the Collection as a rainy-day destination, the sky bridges, the luxury wing as a stroll — that lives on our Things to Do in Bellevue guide. Here, each store gets its own profile: the departments and brands it carries today, which level and entrance to use, how parking works, and a dated timeline of DBN’s coverage going back to when the store first signed a lease. We do not publish store hours; every profile links the store’s own page, which is always current.

Store Profiles
Thirteen profiles, grouped by what you are shopping for. Each card tells you which center the store is in; each profile tells you the level, the entrance, and what it carries.
Department Stores & Anchors
The two anchors that hold up Bellevue Square, and the off-price Nordstrom across the street in Lincoln Square South.
Nordstrom Bellevue Square
Three levels at the head of the Nordstrom Wing, remodeled top to bottom in 2024 — the store the Square was built around.
Macy’s Bellevue Square
The Bellevue Way anchor: a lower level plus three floors, curbside pickup at the Northeast garage, and a Nespresso boutique inside.
Nordstrom Rack Bellevue
The off-price Rack in the Lincoln Square expansion, across from Lincoln South Food Hall — opened 2017.
Luxury
Both houses keep their Northwest flagships at The Shops at The Bravern, two blocks east of the Square across the freeway lid.
Louis Vuitton Bellevue
The house’s only Eastside boutique, expanded in 2022 into the two-level space facing NE 8th.
Hermès Bellevue
The orange-door store on NE 8th, carrying the full run of the house’s categories from silk to leather — DBN covered it from the 2008 lease.
Fashion & Apparel
All three are inside Bellevue Square; each profile tells you the level and what to walk toward.
Zara Bellevue Square
Woman, Man and Kids at the south end of the upper level, directly above Barnes & Noble.
Aritzia Bellevue Square
The expanded boutique by the central elevators — Wilfred, Babaton, Tna and the rest of the house labels, with styling appointments.

The renovated upper-level store with hemming, Like New resale and two-hour pickup — a Square tenant for well over a decade.

Two of the Square’s busiest doors, on different levels.

The classic-home anchor of the upper level, with a Design Studio that makes free house calls and a registry desk.
West Elm Bellevue
The modern-furniture corner of Venn at Main since 2016 — sofas, lighting and in-store pickup a few doors from Main Street’s restaurants.
Outdoor & Sporting Goods
Just east of downtown across I-405 — close enough to be the Eastside’s gear stop after a morning at the Square.
