text: Other capital expenditures consist of ongoing improvements to our stores in the ordinary course of business and expenditures related to 
  various growth initiatives. 
  
  We expect to significantly increase our capital expenditures, net of property incentives, over the next five years to approximately $4,300, 
  compared with $2,700 over the previous five years. We plan to spend approximately $1,200 in 2015 compared with $751 in 2014. Both of 
  these increases are primarily due to our continued expansion into new markets such as Canada, Puerto Rico and Manhattan, investment in 
  new Nordstrom Rack and full-line stores and remodels of existing stores. Over these next five years, we expect that 62% of our net capital 
  expenditures will be for new store openings, relocations and remodels and 34% for ecommerce and information technology. We believe that 
  we have the capacity for additional capital investments should opportunities arise. 
  
  Change in Restricted Cash 
  In connection with the $500 debt maturity in the first quarter of 2012, we began making required monthly cash deposits of $100 into a 
  restricted account in December 2011 until we accumulated $500 by April 2012 to retire the debt. As of January 28, 2012, we had 
  accumulated $200. During the first quarter of 2012, the net amount withdrawn from restricted cash of $200 was recorded as cash received 
  from investing activities.
