Blake Nordstrom, an heir to the Nordstrom Inc. fortune who ran the department-store chain with his two brothers, died unexpectedly Wednesday morning, less than a month after he revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer. Mr. Nordstrom, age 58, was co-president of the retailer, a title he shared with his brothers Erik and Peter. His siblings will continue to lead the company, which is publicly traded but still run and controlled by the family.
