Nordstrom Bellevue Square in Downtown Bellevue.
The Seattle company’s Eastside flagship has anchored Bellevue Square since 1966 — three levels, freshly remodeled in 2024, with a Grill regulars refused to let die and a beauty floor that keeps adding studios.
Nordstrom Bellevue Square is the anchor department store at the head of Bellevue Square’s Nordstrom Wing, on the NE 8th Street side of The Bellevue Collection — 285,000 square feet over three levels at 100 Bellevue Square. It carries the full-line floor plan (women’s, men’s, kids’, shoes, beauty, designer, home and accessories) and the services that separate it from the rest of the mall: alterations and tailoring, personal styling appointments, certified bra fitters, monogramming, curbside pickup on Level 1 of the Northeast Parking Garage, and a beauty floor with Beauty Haven, SkinSpirit and a Monica Vinader piercing-and-welding boutique. Upstairs, Nordstrom Grill, Marketplace Cafe, Ebar, the Espresso Bar, Habitant and Icon Lounge make it the one store in the Collection where lunch is part of the plan.
DBN has covered this store since a phased, ground-up remodel in October 2007, and the archive tracks every turn since: the 2018 experiment that swapped Nordstrom Grill for Tom Douglas’s Department Bento, the reader outcry that brought the Grill back in November 2019, the fall 2022 to spring 2024 remodel that gave the store its single-surface floor, 96 pieces of art and a relocated Beauty department, and the run of studio openings that followed — Beauty Haven and Monica Vinader in April 2024, SkinSpirit in August 2025. The Collection’s own history puts Nordstrom, then a local shoe store adding apparel, at Bellevue Square as its third major anchor in 1966.
It is the store for a wardrobe reset with a fitting-room lunch built in, for the Anniversary Sale in July, and for the beauty appointment that turns into an afternoon. For the rest of the Collection and downtown’s other stores, start with our downtown Bellevue shopping directory.
What You’ll Find at Nordstrom Bellevue Square
A full-line Nordstrom with the extras only a flagship-scale store gets: in-store studios, six places to eat and drink, and a stylist lounge.
Women’s, Designer & Shoes
The full-line floor plan: women’s apparel, the Designer collections, and the shoe department that made the company’s name, laid out on the remodel’s single-surface floor so departments can shift over time.
Beauty Haven & SkinSpirit
Behind the ground-level cosmetics and fragrance counters: Anastasia Brow Studio, Amazing Lash Studio, Drybar blowouts and Londontown nails, with SkinSpirit’s facials and aesthetic services added along the back wall in August 2025.
Monica Vinader Studio
The jewelry brand’s first Seattle-area boutique, opened on the first level in April 2024 with piercing, permanent-jewelry welding, engraving and monogramming on site.
Nordstrom Grill & the Cafes
Nordstrom Grill (full bar, the French dip and steak frites regulars fought to bring back in 2019), Marketplace Cafe, Ebar and the Espresso Bar for coffee, plus Habitant and Icon Lounge for a drink after the fitting room.
Alterations, Stylists & Curbside
Alterations and tailoring, personal styling appointments and a Stylist Lounge, certified bra fitters, monogramming, Nordstrom to You in-home styling, and curbside pickup on Level 1 of the Northeast Parking Garage.
Where it sits on price: Premium, not luxury-house pricing: the Designer floor reaches into four figures, but most of the store lives in contemporary and better-brand territory, and the July Anniversary Sale is when Bellevue shoppers stock up. For the same names at markdown, Nordstrom Rack is across NE 8th at Lincoln Square South.

Getting There & When to Go
Free covered parking, a light-rail station a few blocks east, and three mall levels of entrances: this is the easiest anchor in the Collection to reach.
Getting There & Parking
- Drive: Bellevue Square parking is free, with more than 6,000 covered spaces across three main garage areas; the Northeast Parking Garage is closest to Nordstrom, and Level 1 there is where curbside orders are handed over. Bellevue Collection lists ChargePoint EV stations across its garages. From I-405 take the NE 4th St exit west and turn right on 100th Ave NE for the largest garage.
- Light rail: 2 Line to Bellevue Downtown Station, then a short walk west along NE 6th St to Bellevue Way and north to the NE 8th St side of Bellevue Square — see our light rail guide
- On foot: The store opens onto the mall corridors on each of its three levels and onto NE 8th St outside. Lincoln Square and Din Tai Fung are across NE 8th; the sky bridge to Bellevue Place is at the far end of the mall.
Best Times to Go
Weekday mornings are the calm window for alterations, fittings and beauty appointments. The Anniversary Sale in July draws the year’s biggest weekday crowds, and the Snowflake Lane season packs the mall every evening from late November; a weekend visit then means arriving before the parade crowds build.
Make It a Day
The Collection’s best restaurants are steps away: try Din Tai Fung across NE 8th at Lincoln Square North for the dumpling line, Tavern Hall on Bellevue Square’s second level for a game-day beer, or Cactus next door to Tavern Hall for Southwest plates over Bellevue Way.
Good to Know
As of September 2026 nordstrom.com lists buy-online-pick-up-in-store alongside curbside, and Nordstrom to You for in-home styling. SkinSpirit inside the Beauty department is independently operated and books its own appointments. Nordstrom Rack, the company’s off-price store, is a separate location across NE 8th at Lincoln Square South.
