Nordstrom’s Vision for Downtown Seattle | Seattle News

Nordstrom’s 125th anniversary block party in downtown Seattle proves the city’s heart is beating again—thanks to public-private teamwork that’s reigniting the energy of the late ‘90s. Co-CEO Erik Nordstrom admits progress since the pandemic, but warns against complacency, stressing that safety, quick police response, and sustained collaboration between city and business are non-negotiable. He’s watching San Francisco’s comeback—cleaner, safer, buzzing with tourists and shops—and sees it as a blueprint. Nordstrom’s back in SF with a smaller, service-focused store, and he’s confident downtown Seattle can follow suit. Their shared goal? To keep the city thriving—and Nordstrom’s committed to being part of the solution. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
