Nordstrom is closing two corporate offices and asking some employees to relocate to its Seattle headquarters, GeekWire has learned.
Nordstrom confirmed that it will let leases expire at its offices in Los Angeles and Chicago, citing low usage of the spaces as a primary reason for the decision.
Most employees based in those cities will transition to full-time remote roles while others will be required to relocate to Seattle, the company said. It will use store locations in Los Angeles and Chicago for smaller team gatherings.

HAHAHAHAHA! I guess they can’t leave SEATTLE ALSO!
They did a foray into Canada but are now gone much like Target tried and retreated as well. The day of the big department store is fading away.
DNC = the gift that keeps giving chaos.
Los Angeles, Chicago or Seattle. Talk about bad options.
I grew up in Washington state. When I was in high school, we went to a store called Nordstrom Best. Best was a department store, and Nordstrom was a specialty shoe store. They merged and it was a wonderful place to shop. Nordstrom had wide shoes and narrow shears and anywhere in between. It was wonderful to watch Nordstrom grow into the best place to shop in the nation. I loved that store. All through my career it was where I bought my clothes and shoes. No, it’s too expensive for anybody and too “specialty”.
The employees who relocate to Seattle are going to be in for quite the shock.
Frazier’s Seattle is long gone....
Gee, wonder why Nordstrom’s is leaving California?
Couldn’t be due to the Dems anti-business, pro-regulation policies, could it?
According to the governor, Elon Musk (relocating Space X and Tesla), Chevron, Oracle, Toyota, Hewlett-Pakard and Uber, Airbnb, Salesforce, Yelp, Twitter, and Pinterest intending or having already left California - are all wrong and California’s economy is just fine.
Almost zero demand for what they (used to) offer: High quality, long-lasting, stylish clothing at a fair price, sold by well-trained/groomed sales professionals. Visited one two years ago, to buy a new suit for my sister’s funeral. Very, very low quality items, almost zero selection, and less than stellar staff. The tailoring was second-rate, too. That’s just fine with most people now, though, as they order crap on their phone and run around, disheveled, in their pajamas in public.
