Macy's Holiday Hiring Day Oct. 22: Where Seattle Job Seekers Can Apply

SEATTLE, WA — Macy's holds its next nationwide holiday hiring day on Thursday, October 22, and Seattle is one of 10 markets the retailer named as a top hiring area for its stores this season. The catch for city residents: there's no Macy's inside Seattle anymore, so the jobs are at the malls in Tukwila, Bellevue, Lynnwood and Tacoma.

Walk in on the 22nd, apply on the spot, and bring your real holiday availability. Miss it, and Macy's has one more hiring day on November 19.

Why Seattle Made Macy's Short List

Macy's, Inc. laid out its season in a holiday hiring announcement in late September. It is filling seasonal part-time jobs at Macy's, Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury stores, with in-person hiring days on September 24, October 22 and November 19. Seattle sits on the Macy's store list next to Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia and Phoenix.

The company has not published a headcount for Puget Sound, a national total or a single start time for every store. We won't guess at any of them.

🗺️ No Store in the City, So Here's Where to Go

Macy's own store locator lists no Seattle location. These are the four full-line stores closest to town, with the phone numbers Macy's publishes for each:

Southcenter Mall: 500 Southcenter Mall, Tukwila, WA 98188, (425) 656-6000. The easy pick from Beacon Hill, Rainier Valley, West Seattle and Burien, right where I-5 meets I-405.
Bellevue Square: 400 Bellevue Sq., Bellevue, WA 98004, (425) 688-6000. A quick hop across Lake Washington on SR 520 or I-90, and the natural pick for Eastside job seekers.
Alderwood Mall: 18700 Alderwood Mall Pkwy., Lynnwood, WA 98037, (425) 712-6000. Best for Shoreline, Lake City and the north end.
Tacoma Mall: 4502 S. Steele St., Suite 700, Tacoma, WA 98409, (253) 471-6800. The South Sound option for Federal Way and Pierce County.

Pick the store you can reach fastest on a December closing shift, not just on a Thursday afternoon. One more thing: these four stores sit in four different cities, and the address where you work sets your legal minimum wage. Our Seattle-area wage map breaks that down.

💵 What It Pays and What Comes With It

Macy's says every job posting shows its pay range, so you see the number before you apply. The company lists colleague discounts, 401(k) savings, access to earned wages before payday and an employee assistance program among its benefits, with medical, dental and vision coverage based on eligibility.

📋 How to Show Up Ready on Oct. 22

Call your store first. Hours vary by location, and the numbers are above.
Apply online before you go. It gives the hiring manager something to pull up. Macy's applicants can also submit a recorded interview.
Bring photo ID. If you're hired, you'll complete work-authorization paperwork.
Know your availability. Nights, weekends and the stretch around Thanksgiving are what holiday retail runs on.
