Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION 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 2022 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 April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022 are unaudited. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 28, 2023 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2022 Annual Report . The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read together with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnote disclosures contained in our 2022 Annual Report . Principles of Consolidation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the balances of Nordstrom, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. On March 2, 2023, Nordstrom Canada commenced a wind-down of its business operations (see Note 2: Canada Wind-down) and as of this date, Nordstrom Canada was deconsolidated from Nordstrom, Inc.’s financial statements. Nordstrom Canada results prior to March 2, 2023 are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Fiscal Year We operate on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31st. References to 2023 relate to the 53-week fiscal year ending February 3, 2024. References to any other years included within this document are based on a 52-week fiscal year. Seasonality Our business, like that of other retailers, is subject to seasonal fluctuations and cyclical trends in consumer spending. Our sales are typically higher in our second quarter, which usually includes most of our Anniversary Sale, and in the fourth quarter due to the holidays. Approximately one week of our Anniversary Sale will shift from the second quarter to the third quarter in 2023. Results for any one quarter are not indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year. We plan our merchandise purchases and receipts to coincide with expected sales trends. For instance, our merchandise purchases and receipts increase prior to the Anniversary Sale and in the fall as we prepare for the holiday shopping season (typically from November through December). Consistent with our seasonal fluctuations, our working capital requirements have historically increased during the months leading up to the Anniversary Sale and the holidays as we purchase inventory in anticipation of increased sales. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that we make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period. Uncertainties regarding such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements and actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. Our most significant accounting judgments and estimates include revenue recognition, inventory valuation, long-lived asset recoverability, income taxes and contingent liabilities, including assumptions related to our Canada wind-down, all of which involve assumptions about future events. Leases We incurred operating lease liabilities arising from lease agreements of $72 for the quarter ended April 29, 2023 and $84 for the quarter ended April 30, 2022. Trunk Club Wind-down During the first quarter of 2022, in conjunction with the decision to sunset the Trunk Club brand, we incurred non-cash impairment charges of $10 related to a Trunk Club property to adjust the carrying value to the estimated fair value. These charges are included in our Retail segment SG&A expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and other operating, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Investments From time to time, we invest in financial interests of private companies and venture capital funds that align with our business and omni-channel strategies, which are recorded in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and proceeds from the sale of assets and other, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. During the first quarter of 2022, in connection with the sale of a limited partnership interest in a corporate office building, we recognized a gain of $51 in our Corporate/Other SG&A expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and $73 in proceeds from the sale of assets and other, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Reclassification We reclassified amounts in our fiscal 2022 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to conform with current period presentation. As a result, we aggregated: • Accounts receivable, net with prepaid expenses and other assets into other current and noncurrent assets • Other current liabilities with other liabilities into other current and noncurrent liabilities • Tax withholding on share-based awards with other financing, net These reclassifications had no impact on cash flows from operations, cash flows from investing or cash flows from financing.

Canada Wind-Down

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Canada Wind-Down	NOTE 2: CANADA WIND-DOWN Background On March 2, 2023, as part of our initiatives to drive long-term profitable growth and enhance shareholder value, and after careful consideration of all reasonably available options, we announced the decision to discontinue support for Nordstrom Canada’s operations. Accordingly, Nordstrom Canada has commenced a wind-down of its business operations, obtaining an Initial Order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice under the CCAA on March 2, 2023 to facilitate the wind-down in an orderly fashion. Nordstrom Canada’s ecommerce platform ceased operations on March 2, 2023 and we anticipate the wind-down of our six Nordstrom and seven Nordstrom Rack stores, with the help of a third-party liquidator, to be completed by late June 2023. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice has appointed a monitor to oversee the wind-down process. Subsequent to the CCAA filing, Nordstrom has been providing limited support to Nordstrom Canada for the purpose of supporting an orderly wind-down, including providing shared services and temporary use of intellectual property. Wind-down Costs and Deconsolidation of Nordstrom Canada The following table provides detail of pre-tax charges associated with the wind-down of operations in Canada: Quarter Ended April 29, 2023 Loss on Canada write-off 1 $187 Accumulated translation loss reclassified to earnings 1 33 Contingent liabilities 2 77 Other exit costs 3 12 Total pre-tax costs $309 1 Non-cash amounts are included in Canada wind-down costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. 2 Amounts are included in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 3 Other exit costs include funding an employee trust and professional fees. These charges are primarily included in corporate/other in Note 9: Segment Reporting. The decrease in cash due to the deconsolidation of Nordstrom Canada is included in investing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and all other impacts are included in operating cash flows. Loss on Canada Write-off and Accumulated Translation Loss While Nordstrom continues to own 100% of the shares of Nordstrom Canada, as of March 2, 2023, the date of the CCAA filing, we no longer have a controlling interest and have deconsolidated Nordstrom Canada. We hold a variable interest in the Nordstrom Canada entities, which are considered variable interest entities, but are not consolidated, as we are no longer the primary beneficiary. The pre-tax loss on Canada write-off of $187 in the first quarter of 2023 included the derecognition of Nordstrom Canada’s assets and liabilities and the write-down of both our Nordstrom Canada investment and related-party receivables to estimated fair value. In addition, we recognized a charge of $33 related to the derecognition of the accumulated comprehensive loss on foreign currency translation. To assess the estimated fair value of our Nordstrom Canada investment and our related-party receivables, we estimated the assets available for distribution in relation to expected claims at the time of filing. The estimated amount of Nordstrom Canada’s liabilities exceeded the estimated fair value of assets available for distribution to creditors, and in relation to the receivables, we may not recover any proceeds. As a result, our fair value is recorded as zero in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 29, 2023. Prior to deconsolidation, Nordstrom made loans to and incurred receivables from the Canadian subsidiaries. These loans were considered intercompany transactions and were eliminated in consolidation of Nordstrom. Subsequent to deconsolidation, these receivables were no longer eliminated through consolidation, are considered related-party transactions and are recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at estimated fair value. Nordstrom has an outstanding liability to Nordstrom Canada of $62 related to certain intercompany charges incurred prior to deconsolidation, which will be addressed as part of the wind-down process. Contingent Liabilities and Guarantees In the first quarter of 2023, we recorded a contingent liability of $77 as our current best estimate of expected payments for claims that may be asserted against us, primarily consisting of lease guarantees. Nordstrom has guaranteed certain lease obligations of Nordstrom Canada, with payment required by Nordstrom, Inc. upon failure of Nordstrom Canada to fulfill its obligations under the leases. Our estimate is based on expectations that claims will be asserted against us and negotiated settlements will be reached, and not on any determination that it is probable that we would be found liable were these claims to be litigated and for how much. The maximum potential undiscounted future minimum lease and real estate tax payments under these guarantees were approximately $178 as of April 29, 2023. Employee Trust In connection with the filing, Nordstrom established an employee trust to fund termination and severance payments to employees of Nordstrom Canada. We provided an initial contribution of $10 based on our best estimate to fully fund the employee trust, and we have committed to provide up to an additional $8 depending on eligible employee claims. The cash balance of the employee trust is not recorded in Nordstrom, Inc.’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Debtor-in-Possession Financing If needed, Nordstrom has agreed to provide Nordstrom Canada debtor-in-possession financing up to $11. However, we believe Nordstrom Canada has sufficient liquidity to sustain operations through the wind-down period. As of April 29, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings. Estimates All our estimates are dependent on the outcome of the Nordstrom Canada wind-down process, including the amount of third-party and Nordstrom claims asserted and recognized in the claims process, the amount of assets available for distribution, the negotiation of a CCAA plan of arrangement approved by the creditors and the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the outcome of negotiations regarding the leases. We are in the early stages of the wind-down process and our estimates of losses are based on currently available information and our assessment of the validity of certain expected claims. These estimates may change as new information becomes available and it is reasonably possible that they may materially change from the estimated amounts. Increases in estimated costs to settle claims and decreases in estimated assets available for distribution may result in additional material charges. At the same time, any future decreases in estimated costs to settle claims or increases in estimated assets available for distribution may result in a gain, which will reduce our estimated charges. Amendment of Revolver Agreement On March 1, 2023, we amended our Revolver originally dated May 6, 2022. Prior to this amendment, Nordstrom Canada Retail, Inc. was a loan party under the Revolver and the obligations under the Revolver were secured, in part, by the assets of this subsidiary. As a result of this amendment, Nordstrom Canada Retail, Inc. has been removed as a loan party and obligations under the Revolver will no longer be secured by these assets. In addition, this amendment excludes as subsidiaries or affiliates all Nordstrom Canada entities and carves out certain CCAA-related expenses and obligations from financial covenants under the Revolver. Income Taxes In the first quarter of 2023, we recognized net tax benefits of $93 primarily related to the write-off of excess tax basis in our investment in Canada, net of tax expense related to an increase in valuation allowance for Canada deferred tax assets.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt And Credit Facilities	NOTE 4: DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES Credit Facilities As of April 29, 2023, we had total short-term borrowing capacity of $800 and no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver that expires in May 2027. Provided that we obtain written consent from the lenders, we have the option to increase the Revolver by up to $200, to a total of $1,000, and two options to extend the Revolver for additional one-year terms. Any outstanding borrowings under the Revolver are secured by substantially all our personal and intellectual property assets and are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. Under the Revolver, our obligation to secure any outstanding borrowings will be eliminated if no default exists and we either have an unsecured investment-grade debt rating from two of three specified ratings agencies, or we have one investment-grade rating and achieve two consecutive fiscal quarters with a Leverage Ratio of less than 2.5 times. On March 1, 2023, we amended our Revolver agreement (see Note 2: Canada Wind-down). Under the Revolver, we have two financial covenant tests that need to be met on a quarterly basis: a Leverage Ratio that is less than or equal to 4 times and a fixed charge coverage ratio that is greater than or equal to 1.25 times. As of April 29, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants. The Revolver contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and terms, including paying a variable rate of interest and a facility fee based on our debt rating, and is available for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The Revolver allows us to issue dividends and repurchase shares provided we are not in default and no default would arise as a result of such payments. If the pro-forma Leverage Ratio after such payments is less than 3 times, then such payments are unlimited. If the pro-forma Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 3 times but less than 3.5 times, then we are limited to $100 per fiscal quarter and if the pro-forma Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 3.5 times then the limit is $60 per fiscal quarter. Our $800 commercial paper program allows us to use the proceeds to fund operating cash requirements. Under the terms of the commercial paper agreement, we pay a rate of interest based on, among other factors, the maturity of the issuance and market conditions. The issuance of commercial paper has the effect of reducing available liquidity under the Revolver by an amount equal to the principal amount of commercial paper outstanding. Conversely, borrowings under our Revolver have the effect of reducing the available capacity of our commercial paper program by an amount equal to the amount outstanding. As of April 29, 2023, we had no issuances outstanding under our commercial paper program.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	NOTE 5: 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 Financial Instruments Measured at Carrying Value Financial instruments measured at carrying value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and our Revolver, which approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Long-term debt is recorded at carrying value. If long-term debt was measured at fair value, we would use quoted market prices of the same or similar issues, which 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: April 29, 2023 January 28, 2023 April 30, 2022 Carrying value of long-term debt $2,857 $2,856 $2,854 Fair value of long-term debt 2,224 2,278 2,544 Non-financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis We measure certain non-financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, primarily goodwill, long-lived tangible and ROU assets, in connection with periodic evaluations for potential impairment. In the first quarter of 2023, we also measured our investment in Nordstrom Canada, our related-party receivables and related lease guarantees at fair value (see Note 2: Canada Wind-down for additional information). We estimate the fair value of these assets and liabilities using primarily unobservable inputs and, as such, these are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. Investments Measured at NAV We have certain investments that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share, or its equivalent, as a practical expedient. This class of investments consists of partnership interests that mainly invest in venture capital strategies with a focus on privately held consumer and technology companies. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying net assets owned by the fund and the relative interest of each participating investor in the fair value of the underlying assets. Our interest in these partnerships is generally not redeemable and is subject to significant restrictions regarding transfers. Distributions from each fund will be received as the underlying assets of the funds are liquidated. Liquidation is triggered by clauses within the partnership agreements or at the funds’ stated end date. The contractual terms of the partnership interests range from six ten

Shareholders' Equity	NOTE 7: SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY Share Repurchases In May 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a new program to repurchase up to $500 of our outstanding common stock, with no expiration date. We repurchased 0.03 shares of common stock for $1 at an average purchase price per share of $19.41 during the first quarter of 2023, compared with no shares repurchased in the first quarter of 2022, and had $438 remaining in share repurchase capacity as of April 29, 2023. Dividends In May 2023, subsequent to quarter end, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.19 per share, which will be paid on June 14, 2023 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 30, 2023. We have certain limitations with respect to the payment of dividends and share repurchases under our Revolver agreement (see Note 4: Debt and Credit Facilities). Rights Plan In September 2022, our Board of Directors approved a shareholder rights agreement and declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding share of Nordstrom common stock to shareholders of record on September 30, 2022. The Rights Plan expires September 19, 2023, unless redeemed, exchanged or terminated earlier by our Board of Directors. Each right entitles holders to purchase one newly issued share of Nordstrom common stock at an exercise price of $94 per right, subject to adjustment. Initially, the rights are not exercisable and trade with our shares of common stock. In general, the rights become exercisable following a public announcement that a person acquires 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Nordstrom common stock. If the rights are exercised, each holder (except the acquiring person) will have the right to receive common stock equal to two times the exercise price of the right. The Company may redeem the rights for $0.001 per right anytime prior to the rights becoming exercisable. The agreement also provides for exceptions and additional terms for other certain situations and circumstances. There is currently no impact to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In June 2023, subsequent to quarter end, shareholders voted at our Annual Meeting to approve the advisory vote on the extension of our Rights Plan until September 19, 2025.
