Basis Of Presentation	'
	BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the balances of Nordstrom, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies described and applied in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Annual Report"), and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are, in management's opinion, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented.
	The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended May 3, 2014 and May 4, 2013 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 1, 2014 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Annual Report. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures contained in our 2013 Annual Report.
	The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
	Our business, like that of other retailers, is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Due to our Anniversary Sale in July, the holidays in December and the half-yearly sales that normally occur in our second and fourth quarters, our sales are typically higher in the second and fourth quarters of the fiscal year than in the first and third quarters. Results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This ASU raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as discontinued operations and requires new disclosures for individually material disposal transactions that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. Under the new guidance, companies report discontinued operations when they have a disposal that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major impact on operations or financial results. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, the provisions of this ASU would have on our financial statements. If applicable, this ASU would be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2015.

	Allowance at end of period	$	80		$	85
	Under certain circumstances, we may make modifications to payment terms for a customer experiencing financial difficulties in an effort to help the customer avoid a charge-off or bankruptcy, and to maximize our recovery of the outstanding balance. These modifications, which meet the accounting definition of troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"), include reduced or waived fees and finance charges, and/or reduced minimum payments. Receivables classified as TDRs are as follows:
		May 3, 2014			February 1, 2014				May 4, 2013
	Credit card receivables classified as TDRs	$	40		$	43			$	51
	Percent of total credit card receivables classified as TDRs	1.9		%	2		%		2.4		%
	Credit Quality
	The primary indicators of the credit quality of our credit card receivables are aging and delinquency, particularly the levels of account balances delinquent 30 days or more as these are the accounts most likely to be written off. The following table illustrates the aging and delinquency status of our credit card receivables:
		May 3, 2014						February 1, 2014						May 4, 2013
		Balance			% of total			Balance				% of total		Balance		% of total

	Receivables not accruing finance charges	$	11					$	13					$	10
	Receivables 90 days or more delinquent and still accruing finance charges	$	7					$	8					$	8
	We also evaluate credit quality using FICO credit scores. The following table illustrates the distribution of our credit card receivables across FICO score ranges:
		May 3, 2014						February 1, 2014						May 4, 2013
	FICO Score Range1	Balance			% of total			Balance				% of total		Balance		% of total

	1 Credit scores for our credit cardholders are updated at least every 60 days for active accounts and every 90 days for inactive accounts. Amounts listed in the table reflect the most recently obtained credit scores as of the dates indicated.
	2 Other consists of amounts not yet posted to customers' accounts and receivables from customers for whom FICO scores are temporarily unavailable.

	Credit Facilities
	As of May 3, 2014, we had total short-term borrowing capacity available for general corporate purposes of $800, which is composed of our $800 senior unsecured revolving credit facility ("revolver") that expires in March 2018. Under the terms of our revolver, we pay a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee based on our debt rating. The revolver is available for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes and backs our commercial paper program. During the quarter ended May 3, 2014, we had no issuances under our commercial paper program and no borrowings under our revolver.
	The revolver requires that we maintain an adjusted debt to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent ("EBITDAR") leverage ratio of less than four times. As of May 3, 2014, we were in compliance with this covenant.
	In November 2013, our wholly owned subsidiary in Puerto Rico entered into a $52 unsecured borrowing facility to support our expansion into that market. The facility expires in November 2018 and borrowings on this facility incur interest based upon the one-month LIBOR plus 1.275% per annum. As of May 3, 2014, we had $10 outstanding on this facility.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Measurements	'
	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	We disclose our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets by level within the fair value hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting standards:
	Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
	Level 2: Other observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
	Level 3: Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data that reflect the reporting entity's own
	assumptions
	We did not have any financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of May 3, 2014, February 1, 2014 or May 4, 2013.
	Financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. We estimate the fair value of our long-term debt using quoted market prices of the same or similar issues, and as such this is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement. The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value estimate of our long-term debt, including current maturities:
		May 3, 2014		February 1, 2014		May 4, 2013
	Carrying value of long-term debt1	$	3,117	$	3,113	$	3,126
	Fair value of long-term debt	3,547		3,511		3,644
	1 The carrying value of long-term debt includes the remaining unamortized adjustment from our previous effective fair value hedge.
	We also measure certain non-financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, primarily goodwill and long-lived tangible and intangible assets, in connection with periodic evaluations for potential impairment. We recorded no material impairment charges for these assets for the quarters ended May 3, 2014 and May 4, 2013. We estimate the fair value of goodwill and long-lived tangible and intangible assets using primarily unobservable inputs, and as such these are considered Level 3 fair value measurements.

During the quarter ended May 3, 2014, we repurchased 3.2 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $192 and had $478 in remaining share repurchase capacity as of May 3, 2014. The actual number and timing of future share repurchases, if any, will be subject to market and economic conditions and applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules.
