Over 130 customers waited in line for Nordstrom Rack to open its doors this morning at Lincoln Square in Bellevue.

The “Rally at the Rack” event kicked off on Thursday with music, coffee, breakfast treats and the chance for many customers to win gift cards and a $1,000 shopping spree.

The 43,000-square-foot store at 500 Bellevue Way NE, Suite 145, is the retailer’s eighth location in Washington.

Nordstrom Rack first opened in the basement of the Seattle flagship store in 1973, and currently operates 221 stores across the country.

The store offers discounted brand-name apparel, shoes, accessories, premium denim for men, women and kids and countless pairs of shoes and handbags.
