The survey asked that if the Amazon headquarters were to move to a Seattle suburb, where would the employees prefer to go?

Per Dori Monson.

    This.

    Though Oracle is already pissing off enough Bozemanites. My Uber driver with several visible rifles in the back of his truck didn’t care for what the city had become.

    Not quite. They asked if they were to open additional satellite offices in the region which suburb they would prefer. Options were Bothell/Woodinville, Redmond, Renton, Issaquah, and Tacoma. If they end up moving their HQ within the region it will be to Bellevue.

    This is not new. They did this when I worked there back in 2005 or 2006.
    But it is interesting as they invested a ton of money in Seattle. I hope they leave and give Seattle what it deserves.

    Slow bleed out of Seattle headquarters. Redmond is a good option from a tax perspective. They have a small headcount tax that replaces B&O, not in addition to. I worked for a company that had separate rate manufacturing and commercial entities both based in Bellevue. We moved to Redmond and the difference in B&O/headcount tax was very materially lower.

    Redmond bends over backwards for business and citizens unless you are Blazing Bagels.
