I, Blake W. Nordstrom, state and attest that:

   (1)  To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered

        in a subsequent covered report:

        -   no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material
            fact as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in
            the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials,
            as of the date on which it was filed); and

        -   no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to
            make the statements in the covered report, in light of the
            circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of
            the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case of a
            report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date
            on which it was filed).

   (2)  I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's
        audit committee.

   (3)  In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
        before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

        -   the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31,
            2002 of Nordstrom, Inc.

        -   all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
            definitive proxy materials of Nordstrom, Inc. filed with the
            Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K identified
