REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Administrative Committee
Nordstrom 401(k) Plan & Profit Sharing
Seattle, Washington
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Nordstrom 401(k) Plan & Profit Sharing (the "Plan") as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of Plan sponsor's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit
also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
2005 and 2004, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 2005, is presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule
is the responsibility of the Plan sponsor's management. Such supplemental
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of
the basic 2005 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in
all material respects, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

NORDSTROM 401(k) PLAN & PROFIT SHARING
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004
(dollar amounts in thousands)
1. THE PLAN AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General-The Nordstrom 401(k) Plan & Profit Sharing (the "Plan"), as amended,
was originally established on January 1, 1953. The Plan is an individual
account profit sharing plan, which, since February 1, 1988, has included a
401(k) feature. Participants should refer to the Plan documents for a more
complete description of the Plan's provisions. The following description is
for informational purposes only and does not bind the Plan.
All employees in an eligible employment classification of Nordstrom, Inc. and
participating subsidiaries (the "Company") are eligible to participate in the
Plan. For purposes of eligibility for Company profit sharing and matching
contributions, participation begins on the first day of the calendar month
coinciding with or following the one-year anniversary from the employee's
original hire date. For purposes of eligibility to make elective salary
deferrals (401(k) contributions), participation begins on the first of the
month coinciding with or following three full months of employment. The Plan
also contains special eligibility provisions to ensure that all employees
enter the Plan by the latest participation date required under the applicable
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
Eligible employees who do not elect a different salary deferral contribution
are automatically enrolled in the Plan beginning on the first of the month
coinciding with or following the first anniversary of the employee's
employment commencement date with a salary deferral contribution equal to 2%
of compensation. Employees have the option to elect a zero percent salary
deferral or to change their salary deferral percentage in accordance with the
Plan.
For the Plan year ended December 31, 2005, to qualify for Company profit
sharing and matching contributions, participants must work at least 1,000
hours during the payroll calendar year and be employed on the last day of the
Plan Year (the "last day" requirement is waived if the participant terminates
employment due to retirement, disability or death).
Effective January 1, 2005, the Plan was amended as follows:
- - to reflect an employee's ability to irrevocably waive eligibility to
participate in the Plan;
- - to clarify the Plan's administration of insurance contracts held for
investment in participant accounts;
- - to reduce the threshold amount for involuntary distribution of a
participant's account from $5 to $1 for distributions on and after March 28,
2005; and
- - to increase the period of non-payment after which a participant loan will be
deemed in default from 80 days to 90 days.
Effective January 1, 2004, the Plan was amended as follows:
- - to establish uniform eligibility criteria for Company profit sharing and
matching contributions;
- 4 -
NORDSTROM 401(k) PLAN & PROFIT SHARING
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004
(dollar amounts in thousands)
- - to change the automatic enrollment date for elective salary deferrals from
the first of the month after three months of employment to the first of the
month after the first anniversary of the employee's employment commencement
date;
- - to increase the maximum elective salary deferral percentage for non-highly
compensated employees to 50% from 15% of eligible Plan compensation; and
- - to change the timing and availability rules for in-service distributions and
hardship withdrawals.
Along with these design changes, effective January 1, 2004, the Plan's name
was formally changed to the Nordstrom 401(k) Plan & Profit Sharing. The Plan
was previously known as the Nordstrom Profit Sharing and 401(k) Retirement
Plan.
Plan Contributions-
Profit Sharing Contributions-The Company's Board of Directors establishes the
Company profit sharing contribution, if any, each year. The Board of
Directors has complete discretion in determining the amount of the profit
sharing contribution. Profit sharing contributions are invested in
participant-directed investments or defaulted into the Nordstrom Select
Moderate Fund (the General Balanced Fund in 2004). The Company's contribution
for each Plan year is allocated based on a weighting of years of service and
eligible compensation among the actively employed participants who qualify for
a profit sharing contribution. For Plan purposes, eligible compensation
generally includes salary and wages paid for employee service, including
bonuses and commissions and excludes reimbursements and expense allowances,
employee awards, fringe and welfare benefits, moving expenses, severance and
disability pay, contributions to a nonqualified deferred compensation program
and amounts received as stock or under any stock-based compensation program,
and is capped by limits set under the Internal Revenue Code ($210 for the Plan
Year ended December 31, 2005); participants should refer to the Plan document
for specific details.
Employee 401(k) Contributions-Non-Highly Compensated Employees (NHCEs) may
elect to defer 1% to 50% of eligible compensation on a pretax basis. The
maximum elective salary deferral percentage for Highly Compensated Employees
(HCEs) is 15%. Employees age 50 and over are allowed a catch-up contribution
on a pre-tax basis. For all employees, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
limits participant contributions to a maximum of $14 in 2005.
Company Matching Contributions-The Company's matching contribution consists of
a match of 100% of eligible participants' elective contributions up to 4% of
the participants' eligible compensation.
Investment Programs-Participants are able to direct their accounts (including
Company matching contributions) within any of the available funds, which are
listed in the accompanying Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes.
Participation in Investment Activity-Individual accounts are credited daily
with a pro rata share of investment income (loss) experienced by the
respective Plan funds into which their account balances have been directed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004
(dollar amounts in thousands)
Vesting in the Plan- Employees who terminate employment due to retirement,
death, or disability are 100% vested in their Plan accounts, regardless of
years of service. For purposes of the Plan, "retirement" is defined as ending
employment at age 60 or older. On termination of employment for reasons other
than retirement, disability, or death, the amounts credited to the accounts of
participants are vested as follows:
Company Profit Sharing Contributions-Participants are 100% vested in Company
profit sharing contributions attributable to years of service on and after
January 1, 2000. For contributions received prior to January 1, 2000,
participants are vested 20% after completing three years of service and will
be credited with an additional 20% vesting for each additional year of service
(1,000 hours of service in a payroll calendar year) until 100% vested at seven
years.
Employee Contributions-Employee contributions (i.e., salary deferral, catch-up
and rollover contributions) are always 100% vested.
Company Matching Contributions-Company matching contributions for employees
hired prior to January 1, 2000, are 100% vested. Company matching
contributions for employees whose first hour of service with the Company
occurred on or after January 1, 2000 vest as follows: 33% after completing
one year of service and 67% after two years of years of service. After three
years of service, all Company matching contributions are 100% vested.
Forfeitures-Forfeitures are used to offset future Company matching
contributions and, to the extent any forfeitures remain, to offset future
Company profit sharing contributions. During the years ended December 31,
2005 and 2004, employer contributions were offset by forfeitures of $1,436,
and $2,357, respectively.
Benefits-On termination of service, a participant (or participant's
beneficiary in the case of death) may elect to receive the value of the vested
interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution or, if the vested
account balance excluding the rollover account exceeds $1, elect to remain in
the plan. When an active participant reaches age 59 1/2 and continues to work
for the Company, the participant is eligible to receive a partial or full
distribution of his or her retirement benefits.
Payment of Benefits-Benefits are recorded when paid.
Participant Loans-Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum
of $1 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50 or 50% of their vested
account balance. Loan terms are a maximum of 60 months or up to 20 years for
the purchase of the principal residence of a participant. The loans are
secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear fixed interest at
rates commensurate with prevailing rates but not less than 1% over the then
current prime rate as published by the Wall Street Journal. Interest rates
for participant loans outstanding at December 31, 2005 range from 5.0% to
10.5% and are determined at the time the loan is approved. Principal and
interest are paid semi-monthly through payroll deductions. Participants may
pay monthly upon termination or leave of absence. Payment obligations are
suspended for participants during periods of qualified military service. No
more than two loans may be outstanding at any one time.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004
(dollar amounts in thousands)
Trustees and Administrator of the Plan-The asset trustees of the Plan are
Mercer Trust Company (all assets except the Nordstrom Select Funds) and Mellon
Bank, N.A. (Mellon) (Nordstrom Select Funds only). Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
(Wells Fargo), served as the Trustee and Custodian for the Plan's General
Balanced Fund through March 31, 2005, at which time the Plan transitioned
those services to Mellon. Coinciding with the transition of trustee services
to Mellon, the name of the General Balanced Fund was changed to the Nordstrom
Select Moderate Fund. Additionally, two new funds called the Nordstrom Select
Conservative Fund and Nordstrom Select Growth Fund, were created. These funds
invest in the same underlying assets as the Select Moderate Fund, but have
different allocations to create varying risk/return profiles. Beginning on
April 1, 2005, Mellon serves as the Trustee and Custodian for the Nordstrom
Select Funds.
The Plan is administered by the Company in conjunction with the Retirement
Committee, a committee appointed by the Company's Board of Directors comprised
of the following individuals as of December 31, 2005:
- - Mary D. Amundson Divisional Vice President of Employee Benefits
- - D. Wayne Gittinger Former Director of the Company and
Partner, Lane Powell PC (a law firm)
- - Michael G. Koppel Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
- - Llynn (Len) A. Kuntz Executive Vice President,
Northwest Regional Manager, Full-Line Stores
- - Bruce A. Nordstrom Chairman of the Board of Directors
- - Delena M. Sunday Executive Vice President,
Human Resources and Diversity Affairs
Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company provided administrative services to the Plan
for the year ended December 31, 2004 and through March 31, 2005. In 2005,
Putnam's recordkeeping business was spun off to create Mercer Human Resource
Consulting, LLC. Under that company, Mercer Human Resource Services provided
administrative services and Mercer Trust Company served as asset trustee to
the Plan (for all assets except the Nordstrom Select Funds) for the year ended
December 31, 2005.
Termination of the Plan-The Company reserves the right to suspend,
discontinue, or terminate the Plan at any time. The Company may determine
whether a suspension or discontinuance will or will not constitute termination
of the Plan.
In the event the Plan is terminated, the respective accounts of the
participants under the Plan shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable.
After payment of expenses properly chargeable against the Plan, the trustees
shall distribute all Plan assets to the participants in the proportions
determined by their respective accounts.
Tax Status-The IRS has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated
October 4, 2004, that the Plan is designed in conformity with the applicable
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

NORDSTROM 401(k) PLAN & PROFIT SHARING
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004
(dollar amounts in thousands)
In a prior year, the Company identified some minor administrative issues with
respect to the Plan and has worked to correct such issues through one of the
IRS's voluntary correction programs. The IRS accepted the Company's proposed
correction in August of 2004. The IRS approved corrections were completed in
January of 2005 and the issue is now resolved.
Basis of Accounting-The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
on the accrual basis of accounting.
Other Assets-Prior to 1993, after five years in the Plan, participants were
allowed to purchase life insurance with up to 25% of their annual
contributions. This option was terminated in May 1992; however, the Plan
still holds previously purchased life insurance for participants. This amount
represents the cash surrender value of the New England Life Insurance policy.
Investment Income-Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-
date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net unrealized and realized investment
gains and losses are calculated based upon the fair value at the beginning of
the year of investments held at that date and the cost of investments
purchased during the year.
Benefits Payable-Benefits payable to participants who have withdrawn from
participation in the Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, were $162 and
$566, respectively.
2. INVESTMENTS
The Plan's investments are held by the trustees and are recorded at fair value
based on quoted market prices at December 31, 2005 and 2004, except for the
Putnam Stable Value Fund, which is a fully benefit responsive guaranteed
investment contract fund and is recorded at contract value, which approximates
fair value. The following table presents the value of investments that
represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets recorded at December 31:

---------- ----------
$141,967 $113,063
========== ==========
The Putnam Stable Value Fund is a fully benefit responsive, guaranteed
investment contract fund. The contract is included in these financial
statements at contract value, which approximates fair value, as reported to
the Plan by Mercer Trust Company. There are no reserves against contract
value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The average yield
was approximately 4.7% for 2005 and 4.5% for 2004. The weighted average
crediting interest rate was approximately 4.7% at December 31, 2005 and 4.5%
at December 31, 2004.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Wells Fargo Bank was trustee of the Plan's General Balanced Fund through March
31, 2005. Mellon Bank, N.A. has been trustee of the Nordstrom Select Funds
since April 1, 2005. Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company was trustee of all assets
of the Plan other than the General Balanced Trust Fund from January 2004 to
December 2004. Effective January 1, 2005, Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company
changed its name to Mercer Trust Company and has been trustee of all assets of
the Plan other than the Nordstrom Select Funds since that date. Accordingly,
Mercer Trust Company, Wells Fargo Bank, and Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company are
each a party-in-interest with respect to the Plan. The Plan has invested in
investment funds managed by Wells Fargo Bank and by affiliates of Mercer Trust
Company and Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company during 2005 and 2004. Transactions
in these investments qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions because
an independent fiduciary causes the Plan to make these investment decisions.
Fees paid by the Plan to Wells Fargo Bank, Mellon Bank, Mercer Trust Company,
and Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company amounted to $166, $102, $591, and $204,
respectively, for 2005. Fees paid by the Plan to Wells Fargo Bank and Putnam
Fiduciary Trust Company amounted to $253 and $732, respectively, for 2004.
As the Plan sponsor, the Company is a party-in-interest with respect to the
Plan. The Company's employer contributions to the plan qualify as party-in-
interest transactions. These transactions are exempt party-in-interest
transactions because a fiduciary does not cause the Plan to participate in the
transactions. In addition, miscellaneous reimbursement of direct expenses
paid by the Plan
- 9 -
to the Company for Plan operations and administration amounted to $26 and $72
for 2005 and 2004, respectively.
4. EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE TO PARTICIPANTS
The Plan is subject to certain compliance requirements of non-discrimination
rules under ERISA and IRS guidelines. For the Plan year ended December 31,
2005, the Plan failed certain of these non-discrimination tests due to lower
levels of contribution participation by non-highly compensated eligible Plan
participants. In order to meet the compliance requirements, in March 2006,
the Plan refunded a portion of the 2005 contributions made by highly
compensated participants. The refund totaled $761 and is recorded as "Excess
contributions payable to participants" in the December 31, 2005 Statement of
Net Assets Available for Benefits. The refund is included in "Benefit payments
to participants" on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for
Benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005. The refund amount includes
approximately $117 of investment earnings.
5. RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO FORM 5500
The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the
financial statements to the amounts reflected in the Form 5500 as filed by the
Company with the Employee Benefits Security Administration as of December 31:
