(Seattle, WA) — Blake Nordstrom, the co-president of the retail company that has his family name, is dead. The company issued a statement saying the 58-year-old’s death was unexpected. The company announced last month Blake Nordstrom was diagnosed with lymphoma, but said his condition was treatable. He was co-president with his brothers Pete and Erik. The Nordstrom department stores based in Seattle are in the midst of ramping up their online sales as traditional brick-and-mortar stores struggle. In August they reported that nearly a third of their sales came via online shopping. There are 363 Nordstrom stores in 40 states.
