I'm looking at the sorcerer bloodlines and it got me wondering if there are any archetypes that grant a non-sorcerer a bloodline. I'm aware there is an arcanist archetype. I also know that any class can pick up some bloodline abilities with the Eldritch Heritage line of feats. Are there any other notable archetypes that get bloodline abilities?

You might check out the devil binder summoner, from the Adventurer's Guide. The summoner steals some of her devil's power to gain infernal bloodline powers.
In addition, I designed it to be relatively easy to substitute other subtypes. So if you want to play an azata version, it's as simple as swapping out the bloodline and eidolon subtype, plus tinkering with a few of the other class features. ^_^

There is not much, appearantly. Archives of Nethys shows some entries when you search for bloodline within Classes/Pets. Dragonheir Scion might be the most fitting result, but better have a look yourself.
It broadens a bit if you also accept bloodrager bloodlines. Druid (planar Extremist) and magus (eldritch scion) become options then.
Just for completeness: There is also variant multiclassing into a sorcerer - 3 of 5 secondary class features are actually about the bloodline. Its main benefit is that you get the 3rd level power four character levels earlier than via Improved Eldritch Heritage.

@Isabelle Thanks for pointing that out, it's definitely interesting.
@SheepishEidolon Yeah, I didn't realize Nethys had such a comprehensive search. It looks like you're right. Thanks for pointing out VMC as well, I hadn't thought of that.
