SEATTLE — Blake Nordstrom, co-president of the Seattle-based retailer that bears his family name, disclosed Monday he has been diagnosed with lymphoma.
Nordstrom, who leads the company with brothers Pete and Erik Nordstrom, told employees, customers and shareholders that his cancer is treatable and that he and his doctors “are optimistic and encouraged by my prognosis.”
In a note filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Blake Nordstrom, 57, said he expected to reduce his scheduled travel during the next few months as he begins treatment, but otherwise plans to continue working during the process.
