Bloomingdale’s will open a “Bloomie’s” store location— its smaller store concept—in Seattle, Wash., on November 2, 2023, within University Village. This will be the third Bloomie’s location to open, with the other stores located in Fairfax, Va., and Skokie, Ill. This is the brand’s first brick-and-mortar presence in the market, with 19,000 square feet spread across two floors.

Bloomie’s will feature a curation of men’s and women’s fashion, beauty, and an expansive shoe section. The location will also offer exclusive access to brands Sandro, Maje, and James Perse.

“The expansion to University Village represents the introduction of our Bloomie’s store concept to the west coast and we are thrilled to be present in the Seattle market,” said Charles Anderson, Director of Stores at Bloomingdale’s. “Although this is our first physical storefront in the area, Bloomingdale’s already has an engaged customer base in the Seattle market. We look forward to welcoming those loyal shoppers, and new guests within the community, to our new location.”

To celebrate the grand opening, Bloomie’s will be hosting a series of events and activations to welcome and introduce the store concept to the community:

  • Official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony: On November 2, the doors to Bloomie’s will officially be open with a celebratory ribbon cutting, hosted by Charles Anderson, Director of Stores.
  • Opening Day Festivities: Shoppers will be offered fashion-themed sweets from local favorite bakery, Jenny Cookies and receive a Retail Therapy Candle set as a gift with any purchase, following the ribbon cutting.
  • Cotton Candy Cart: Friday, November 3, Cotton Candy lovers of all ages can stop by the store and experience a cotton candy artist bringing candy to life through animal creations, as well as pre-packaged cotton candy as a gift with purchase.
  • Dog Fashion Show: Saturday, November 4, in partnership and support of the Seattle Humane Society, the Seattle community can bring their four-legged friends to get their photo snapped and strut down the Bloomie’s carpet. Seattle Barkery and The Confectionary will also provide Bloomie’s special treats for the dogs and their owners.
