Somewhere in Time, Unlimited presents: "Ladies Who Lunch" August 22, 2011 Nordstrom's Flagship Store Downtown Seattle, WA |

We began our tour upstairs in the John W. Nordstrom meeting room
area where we met with our tour guide Leo. He gave us a
wonderful lecture on the beginnings of both Nordstrom as a
corporation, as well as his personal career path within the store. Lady Victoria had worked at a number of the retail giant's stores and even helped open the flagship "Store 1" in downtown Seattle when the store moved from the original location, into the landmark building previously owned and occupied by the classy retailer, "Fredrick and Nelson". Being able to take over the F&N location was quite an honor. Nordstrom paid great detail to the integrity of the structure, while they completely retrofitting for earthquake support, installed HVAC, and redesigned the floor plan. |
The ladies and gents were busy chatting it up about traffic and
their attire. Leo was going to share with us the details of
the various shoes on display behind us in the cases. Sadly, we were not allowed downstairs to see the extensive "shoe vault" as we originally had hoped. |
