Ann Wendell

Ann Wendell is a native of Seattle and grew up considering Frederick & Nelson her second home. Her mother and father, who met working at Chicago’s Marshall Field & Co., moved to Seattle in 1947 for her father’s new job at Frederick & Nelson. Her family (grandfather, parents, and sister) had, in total, over 100 years of service to Frederick & Nelson and its longtime parent store Marshall Field & Co. Although the author only lasted two weeks as a sales clerk (she was put in the linen department during a white sale), F&N still holds a special place in her heart.
