SEATTLE, Aug. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Seattle-based Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN) announced today its plans to open a Nordstrom Rack at The Village at Totem Lake in Kirkland, Washington. The approximately 35,000-square-foot store is scheduled to open in fall 2017. The property is owned by CenterCal Properties, LLC.

Nordstrom Rack at The Village at Totem Lake will be located conveniently along Interstate 405, and is also easily accessible via NE 124^th Street, a major east-west thoroughfare. The new store will join Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Ross, state-of-the-art LuxTheater, fashion retailers, several experiential restaurants, high-end residential and more.

"When we opened our first Nordstrom Rack in the lower-level of the Downtown Seattle Nordstrom back in 1973, we could never have imagined we'd someday serve our Seattle-area customers with six stores," said Geevy Thomas, president of Nordstrom Rack. "We look forward to offering our eastside customers a more convenient location, so they can spend more time shopping and less time fighting traffic."

This will be the seventh Nordstrom Rack in Western Washington. The company also operates six Nordstrom stores: Downtown Seattle, Bellevue Square, Northgate, Alderwood, Southcenter and Tacoma Mall.

"We are pleased to be working with Nordstrom Rack and other fine retail, dining, and entertainment destinations," said CenterCal president Jean Paul Wardy. "The residents will enjoy this new space, which revitalizes the area and transforms it into a modern gathering place where community members can live, work and play."

Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of Nordstrom, Inc., offering customers a wide selection of on-trend apparel, accessories and shoes at an everyday savings of 30 to 70 percent off regular prices. The Rack carries merchandise from Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com, as well as specially purchased items from many of the top brands sold at Nordstrom.
