Good spot to shop for a good deal for some name brand items. I bought some Hugo boss sweaters for a good price here!

The place is pretty dead when I went again recently. The collection is also becoming quite boring. I spent some time there browsing thru the stuff and didn't feel inspired to buy anything. Later I found out the lease will not be renewed in a couple of months, so yeah that explains it. It's too sad this long loved spot will be gone. One less reason to be in the downtown area. read more

I used to shop here frequently but now the store experience is lacking. Today this looked like very Bad customer service. Person working the fitting room clearly did not want to be working that area. They were slamming hangers and very short in requesting numbers for fitting items. To add to this- THEY NO LONGER HAVE RESTROOMS. I'm sorry but if you want me to spend time in the store selecting items for purchase you should have restrooms for public use. Also IF YOU DID HAVE RESTROOMS please post a sign so shoppers know at entry that you no longer have them instead of hunting around for an employee only to be told that you no longer have them. Especially when there aren't many employees around the store or clear uniforms for us to identify - those bright vests were helpful... So yeah, I can't recommend this store and will not be back to shop. read more

I've been coming to this downtown Rack for many years. It's conveniently near the main parking garage in downtown. It was always one of the last stops in downtown before heading to the car. This location isn't particularly large. Women's clothing and accessories are on the front portion of first floor. Men's clothing are towards the back. I almost never find anything here. Hubby tends to find something. The upstairs is mostly shoes, and it's the best part of the store. Back when I like to wear Tom's, I regularly bought Children's Tom's shoes here. Plenty of selection and inexpensive. Not the best or biggest store but still worth a visit. No issues with staff. In fact, it's comfortably well guarded now because of recent riots and COVID. I feel quite safe in there. read more

Nordstrom Rack - Women's active department - Department Stores Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've been shopping here for many years. They always have great products for great prices. They have clothing, shoes, accessories, snacks, beauty products, etc. Everything is of good quality. Staff is very helpful and friendly. They have a rewards program and the more you shop you also receive "notes"/points in return. read more

It has been quite a while since I've found something to purchase at this Nordstrom Rack. Today I visited this store searching for handbags and shoes, namely Kate Spade handbags and Adidas shoes. The handbag department here is small. However, they did have a decent selection of Kate Spade handbags. I just didn't find one that I wanted to buy. The shoe department is on the second floor. The shelves are high and the area feels cramped. When you encounter another customer, especially one who has a shopping cart, your search ends because you can not go past them. After going down a few aisles dealing with this situation again and again, I decided to leave. The ladies clothing area doesn't draw me in at all. It just looks unorganized and confusing. I'm sure there are shoppers who enjoy this store because it's been here for quite some time. It's just not one of my favorites. read more

Nordstrom rack use to be my favorite store to get new shoes from. They are way too expensive now, they don't have much of a variety anymore and the clothes are so crammed on the rack that it's extremely difficult to look through them. read more

Just had a terrible service experience. Called the store and waited on hold then was told "we don't do floor checks over the phone." I asked why and said, "You can't even tell me whether you carry a certain brand?" Then he asked me what the brand was I said, "Bass penny loafers - B.A.S.S" then he said "at the very least it wasn't a brand I recognize." Why call the store if you can't enquire about product? An eager paying customer having to search the entire state for a certain shoe/brand they always carried. read more

I was visiting Portland recently and walking around downtown when I stopped in. There were several items that were tempting but then I found a cute coverup....! I needed to get back to the hotel so I regret not getting name of the staff member at the register but they were friendly and left me hoping I'd be back again to visit! read more

This store has steals on designer labels. Paige Denim and Eileen Fisher to name of you. But what keeps me coming back is the customer service. The people who work there always make me feel a little better about my day. Something that is much needed in this world! read more

The serv ice is top notch and the selections are excellent. I find everything to be wel organized as if they care about the customer experience and their merchandise. I love the value for my money. Often I find things that are simply amazing and so affordable. The cashiers are efficient and friendly. The variety is more than sufficient. I am a satisfied customer and I am so very particular about quality and reasonable prices. Thanks Nordstrom Rack for getting this so right!! Your displays are nice and surprisingly the sales/clearance areas are decently organzied too. Amazing. read more

This is a pretty decent Nordstrom Rack and the selection was surprisingly very good especially for denim, winter overcoats and shoes. I was only visiting Portland and had traveled with a carry-on but if I had more space I would have definitely bought up a number of items I saw here. I saw excellent Hudson, Paige and AG jeans and Sam Edelman, Michael Kors and Mackage sleeker wool winter overcoats. As for shoes I saw some really cute leopard-print loafers from Cole Haan, Hunter boots, Sorel winter boots, Birkenstock sandals and silver Doc Martens. I mostly picked up cosmetics while I was here but I'm sure if I lived in the Portland area, I'd be a regular here. read more

Pretty busy on the weekend but quiet when we returned on Monday. A few Portland weirdos came in and they were escorted out. Good selection of shoes and clothing. read more

Always find great work clothes for a great price. One of my fav go to stores. I highly recommend!

**WC** I do love the rack! I had been over thinking buying the perfect back pack type bag for the back of my wheelchair. I strolled in and bam, right there - $40 exactly what I needed. I then wandered around finding nearly $200 in fabulousness which is what happens at the rack, a sweater, a gorgeous shirt perfect for Victorian events and another shirt though I nearly cried when a proper gorgeous trench was out of my size. Then I wandered through the beauty products just shaking my head as I grabbed three items which sell for $65 together retail and I bought them for a total of $19. So, come here first - especially for Fakkai. I only once found a challenge wheeling through an aisle area and immediately an employee came running grabbing things and apologizing profusely - wow...just wow - so nice. The employees really pay attention and are wandering around doing things but also pay attention to those around them offering help. That's rare in stores. read more

As someone who has worked for Nordstrom for over 3 years in the past (even started in the internship program group at the flagship store 1 back in 2009) I am extremely disappointed in the level on the customer service I received at the Nordstrom Rack store in Downtown Portland, OR. I purchased a new Longchamp bag on January 19th with the hopes of it working out. I did wear it a couple of times and realized it was too small to fit my needs. Understanding the Nordstrom way, I saved my electronic receipt, fully knowing how much of a pain it is when customers didn't save that in the past. I went back to the same store today to try and return the bag and would have even taken store credit but was turned away quickly and abruptly by one of the rack associates. This was not the experience I previously knew to be and am extremely disappointed in the level of service. I have been a dedicated customer for years and invested even my work life into your company. Not being offered any solution besides to walk away, leaves me not wanting to work with your company and feel like a detractor on the NPS scale. As someone who now works for a company that holds Medalia and the NPS system in the highest regards I know that we want to make it right for the customer in any way we can. On a side note, additionally while I was purchasing the bag I noticed shoplifters and reported them while I was shopping, so my dedication to your brand should not be questioned. I will even attach photos of the bag that was worn 3 times in case this helps at all. I have seen what customers have tried to return to your stores and I get that there needs to be a standard but based on the date of the receipt and the quality of the bag in the photos this is no where near poor. read more

Nordstrom Rack - Department Stores Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I am a Fan ! I know that there are bigger and better locations of NR at other places , yet due to proximity and convenience , this one is my favorite . They have good variety and a lot of styles for clothes as well as shoes .There is also accessories ,cosmetics and bags etc .I do find that the Men`s section is limited , and feels like was almost added as an after-thought . There are a good number of changing rooms, but on busy days the waiting lines are long for those .Prices are reasonable , except for when you are looking at fancy designer brands . Some of the service staff is rude , but the majority of them are extremely friendly and helpful. read more

I'm a big fan of Nordstrom Rack and visit all four in the Portland area and in other states when traveling. The downtown store is my least favorite, sadly, since I live close by. I've been to this location several times and the selection is far less than the Tigard store which is loaded with designer bags, sunglasses, clothes and shoes. The downtown store has a very small section of handbags and an even smaller section of jewelry. The other night I was in the women's clothes section and kept walking around and around thinking there must be more! There wasn't. Just a small area and it was so messy and unorganized. I looked at a few racks but there was nothing that was even remotely interesting so I left and went up to the second floor to search for shoes. The shoe section is large but again, nothing caught my eye. Meanwhile, when I go to the Tigard location, I have to use full on restraint otherwise I would leave with several pairs of shoes, 3-4 designer bags, several articles of clothing and a pair of earrings or two. And go back again a week later because the finds are so good. Maybe this location gets more traffic because of the tourists, and that's why it always feels picked through. I don't know. But I'd rather drive 20 minutes to Tigard or to the new store at Cascade Station by PDX. Both are larger, well organized, and just an overall better shopping experience. Yes, you still have to hunt for the deals, which is part of the fun, but you actually find them! read more

Great items as usual and friendly staff. Store had lots of stuff of clearance which is always good Nordstrom rack is the typical nice store Clean and organized, find what you want and hit the road after spending $200.00 + more bucks lol Very nice brands in there but can get pricey. You get what you pay for I love Jack Spade(NY) so yeah Thanks for always keeping the store nice and clean. That's a plus. read more

I'm always disappointed with the selection of items appropriate for wearing to work. I am never able to find contemporary suits suitable for a young professional woman. Men have it easy! Frankly I've found a much better selection of women's suits and business attire are Ross across the street. Yikes, Nordstrom. That's bad. read more

This Nordstrom Rack is practically identical to every Nordstrom Rack I've ever been to - which is a good thing! We love our Nordstrom Racks. This one is two-stories, with clothing and make-up on the lower street level and primarily shoes on the upper level. I primarily stayed on the main level and boy, did I find some great finds! I found some Calvin bralettes for $11 each (I bought three but, upon arriving home, my youngest daughter saw them and snagged them for herself. Woe is me!), and some gorgeous summer swingy tops on sale in the clearance racks for, again, $11 each. What a great deal! I tried to pay at the "express check-out" kiosks by the escalator (they only take credit cards, and all sales final if you chec-out here, which was fie with me), but the kiosks weren't staffed and, after waiting there for five minutes, nobody came to work these kiosks. So I waited in a long line by the cash to pay. They were very organized and quick, as the line moved quickly. We had a great guy cashier who was friendly and efficient. I could have spent a few hours here (I didn't even get the chance to check out the shoes. My family was antsy to leave). Great deals to be found here. read more

This Nordstrom Rack is located in downtown Portland, on a corner (an easy find). I came by this store while on vacation in Portland during this past December. Two floors of items to browse and shop at. The first floor has purses, scarves/ gloves, pajamas/ sleep wear, watches. jewelry, women's clothing and male's clothing. The second floor has the shoes. During my visit, currently winter coats were on sale. There was many coats in both the male and female section with a great selection to choose from. But I was pretty disappointed with the handbag section and the watches/ jewelry display case. I was also disappointed with the shoes upstairs. In the shoe section, there is only one shoe. If you find a shoe you want to try, you need to take that lone shoe over to the shoe mate window to get the other. I never like these set ups at the Nordstrom Racks that do this. Shoes are just everywhere, which makes it much harder to browse and look for something. Every time I at at a Nordstrom Rack that does this, I always begin to look and browse in my shoe size but then quickly give up after a few minutes because of how messy the shelves are. There may be some great finds in this section but I am just not willing to put in the time and effort. Overall, this visit was a little disappointing. Didn't have a whole lot of high end designer labels. Ended up buying some great items at Nordstrom less than 1 mile away. read more

Gayle and I came in here last Saturday. She found some nice warm flannel PJs and we discussed some options for dressing me up a bit. Nordstrom Rack does have a nice selection of quality and well-priced clothing and accessories, especially for women. The men section is pretty good too and the even though I find this place somewhat disorienting, everything had a logical and neat order to it. read more

I make it a point to go to a Rack in every new city I visit. I went to this Rack for the second time yesterday and it's been disappointing both times. It's by far the messiest Nordtroms Rack I have ever seen. The shoe department was a wreck the first time I was here. There isn't a large selection of items and there in no plus size section. Trying to find a dale associate is impossible. I will not be going back. read more

Bargains galore! The top reason I go here remains the shoe section upstairs: it is just plain fab. I don't think I have been to Nordstrom Rack when there was not some type of sale going on... However, if you are into Vince Camuto, Free People, DKNY, other designer brands, sale can still mean quite a bit of money for a nice piece of clothing. One thing I also keep an eye on, is the quality and damage on the clothing pieces I am searching for. Often a nice blouse that I finally find in my (rather popular) size is still hanging there because either (a) it has been torn or spotted somehow, or (b) it just doesn't fit right on any body type. So look carefully when purchasing here and do try it on--even if it means waiting in line. The suitcases, though also better quality, cost the same as at a proper luggage place, and are not a reason to go here, and this is also the case for handbags or purses. My daughter looks at the jewelry (apparently nice and cheap earrings) and workout pieces, but she prefers to hit sport clothing stores for a better selection. Good luck and enjoy your search! read more

Nordstrom Rack - Bag heaven - Department Stores Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Nordstrom Rack is like an treasure-hunting adventure where you have a treasure map, you kind of know where to go, but your expectations for bountiful riches tend to far exceed the little treasure you may find... So, I head to the Rack with no expectations. My success usually comes in the form of: (1) Deeply discounted high-end denim (citizens of humanity, joe's jeans, etc) (2) Shoes! They have a huge selection of shoes - some are weird & un-purchasable - but you can get lucky and get a great pair at a big discount off the original price. (3) Underwear & other lingerie - same stuff as at Nordstrom but at a reasonable price. (4) Socks/hose - selection is limited (5) Jackets (6) Suits - this is very hit or miss but if you find one, it is very probably stylish, well-made, and at least 1/3 to 1/2 off the original price. P.S. The Rack's return policy is much stricter than Nordstrom's legendary one and the Rack doesn't validate parking. read more

Jewelry, purses and shoes, oh my! These are the things that I can't resist. And I know that when I go into Nordstrom Rack, it is pretty much inevitable that I am going to break down and buy something that I don't need but the price is such that I feel that I would be remiss if I did not buy it. I am still thinking about that fashion jewelry ring by Givenchy that I was admiring yesterday... there were several. I resisted but I have a feeling I will be back and it will end up in my collection. Shoes: oh, sweet Jesus. I live in a small studio and I do not have room for more shoes. But you know what? I keep finding shoes that I really do feel that my life would be unfulfilled if I did not buy them; so buy them, I do. It is true what they say: shoes can't buy happiness, but it is a fine diversion and I am not about to stop. NOTE: A very cool thing about Nordstrom Rack is that they will put your shoes on the shoe stretcher for FREE. Nordstrom stores will make you pay for this service. The handbag selection waxes and wanes as does most things at the Rack. Lingerie is another great find at the Rack. Not many places have a great selection of 32 C/D bras. One must just keep checking back as the stock is constantly changing. I don't go if I am on mission for something specific as I will probably be disappointed. Go with the attitude that you may find something terrific for a great price and you may be rewarded accordingly. read more

Of course I had to forget to pack something for my trip to Portland to attend a wedding. Conveniently located in downtown, it is among several retailers. The nice salesperson helped me with measurements for a shirt I had to buy. There is wide price range and it's likely higher than that of Ross across the street but the quality seemed better. The store was clean and the staff was nice. Come by if you want something nice and don't want to pay full retail. If you don't something that suits you, you can always try other stores nearby. And being in Oregon, there is no sales tax. read more

Powered up after lunch, my friends and I decided to hit up Nordstrom Rack. I really hate digging, but if you're patient, you'll find some great deals. End result - two pairs of boots for $116 and two pairs of jeans for $125. SCORE! *This is a smaller Nordstrom Rack, but you can't beat the location. Right in Downtown Portland. read more

I love me some Norstrom Rack! It's a rack, so some days you'll score, other days you'll leave empty-handed. Just don't come in looking for something specific and you're golden. The downstairs has a large selection of men and women's clothing in a very cramped environment (seriously, Washington Square has a lot more space), but you make do because of the deals. Upstairs you'll find the shoes, and wow, there's a lot of shoes. Everything from running sneakers to 3-inch pumps! The people are friendly, the customers are pushy, everyone just wants a good bargain, which you'll definitely find if you come here. But be forewarned: there's a parking tower across the street and they do not validate, sadly. read more

The night before I laid there restless in my bed, tossing and turning, dreaming about a pair of flat leather boots that I left behind on the days shopping trip. After 5 hours of going through different scenarios where the boots would be useful and attractive, including a running escape from bad guys, I realized I'd have to go in first thing in the morning to buy them. Come 9am I'm drinking down an Americano with an added shot to prepare me for battling off any other shoppers. It was the last pair and they were discounted from $425 to $150. I parked out front about 15 minutes before they opened and I felt like a lunatic. I took a step back for a minute thinking, OH GOD.... I've become that woman... that nutso who creeps around the newspaper stand awaiting the sound of the 'click' from the unlocked door of a store. No, I didn't go that far... but I felt like an spaz for being the only shopper besides employees at 9:30 am. I got my boots and of course didn't love them as much as I had in my dreams the night prior. But I did end up grabbing a pair of L.A.M.B heels for over 80% off. A Michael Kors top and two pillows in from the main store, all for under $100 vs. the $800 original price. Talk about a deal... or two... or three. When you think of the movie, 'How To Lose a Guy In 10 Days' we all think of the same thing, her yellow dress at the end. I think I've wanted this dress since the film came out, and I found it here yesterday. It doesn't have the same swoop back but it's the same floor length pale yellow silk dress as the one in the movie. I also bought another pair of heels that I fell in love with on first sight. I've already received a million compliments on them in the one day I've worn them. Yes, I shopped a lot here in the past two days. It's called retail therapy from too much work... and this was the perfect place to unleash my need to buy new things to make me feel happy. read more

This is a simple story about a bad day turning into a good one. I had a meeting down in Lake Oswego and hit the 35 bus. Got off the bus and by accident left my jacket on it....that was the crappy part of my day. Thankfully there was nothing important in the jacket, although there were a few pins on it that I liked having. Anyways, after my return to Portland, I ended up at the Pioneer mall and visited several places but didn't find any sort of lightweight jacket I liked. It was raining out and I wanted something with a hood. No dice there. I exited and ended up across the street from Nordstrom Rack. What the heck, let's see if this day can get better. I don't go to Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack often, in fact it's been around 10 or more years since I've been in one. I went looking at jackets and saw some good brands at good prices. Ezekiel, Andrew Marc and some others, but none with hoods. I saw a cool green "puffy" style jacket, but the price, even discounted, was still way too high. So I thought, well, no dice here either.... until I started heading for the exit, and then noticed a black jacket mixed in with a rounder of shirts. A North Face jacket with a hood! No Sh*t! Wind proof, water resistant and over 60% off. I could not pass this up. What made this find even better, is that the cashier who checked me out, just put it back out there, she had almost bought it for her son, but had just gotten him something else the other day. So I lucked out. Yay for my eagle-eye. There were some other cool shorts and things I could have gotten as well, but not for today. Another time. Enjoy. read more

I ordered ordered the evening of the 1st.. on the 2nd he msgd me about not having the size i wanted and asked if another size was ok or if id like a different top. Now thats customer service. You dont get that from larger companies. I love supporting black owned businesses especially when they show out like this. Now my products just got her on may 3rd less then 48 hours of initial order and making a change due to sizing. How many companies can you say do that. Will be ordering again soo. For the kids and myself of course. .oh and the clothing its self the softest material ever for the leggings and biker shorts. I loce how comfortable and well made they are read more

I've only shopped at one Nordstrom Rack location in San Jose. Was in downtown Portland, our son needed to buy few dress shirts so we stopped by. First of all, very nicely organized NR. The one in San Jose (Saratoga Avenue) can be a mad house. Sometimes you find clothing just strewn over the rack and generally kind of messy. But this location had clothing all nicely hung up and racks very easily maneuverable. Quite impressive! Two floors of shopping and roaming! We found more than what we were looking for....well done Nordstrom Rack Downtown! read more

Been to this location a few times now. It was surprisingly busy today even several days after Christmas. I usually like browsing their shoes, which is located upstairs. The shoe section was a hot mess today. I mean, it normally is but today was crazy! I was shocked to see Too Faced single eyeshadows downstairs in their makeup department for only four dollars and ninety five cents. If I didn't have too many shadows already, I definitely would have picked those up. Urban decay 24/7 liners were about nine dollars and ninety five, but they were mainly neon colors. I had never really browsed their cosmetics before but after today's trip, I may need to during each visit! read more

The last couple times I've been everything was organized, in order, and clean. I was greeted when I came in and when I left. I think that they have a good selection of jeans and basic tops, of course other things are a bit or miss just depending on what they get in from other stores. My only complaints would be that the aisles are tight and dressing rooms are pretty small. read more

Nordstrom Racks are always hit or miss. You have to go all the time. Sometimes I hit the jackpot and other times I walk out empty handed. This particular location is pretty small. They try to cram a lot of stuff into a small space. I mostly come here to look at shoes and makeup. Prices are still a bit high and somethings are not any cheaper here. I don't like to pay full price for anything if I can get away with it, so I will be back in the future. read more

Great branch but dangerous, I always find more then I need to here. Then I have to talk myself out of that great Burberry shirt for less then $200.... but it was really nice. No I am not going back, $200 is to much for a shirt. Shoes are upstairs with weird stuff like sheets. Men's cloths in back. Its a nice store, and the lines aren't to bad here. Only negative here is it is so tight packed it can be hard to get around in. But I did find a nice Shirt on a good discount, Calvin Klein and almost as nice as that Burberry at a fraction of the price. read more
