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

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

If they were smart they would leave the state.

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.insinceredawg said:

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

They own a large chunk of their Seattle office space including the multi billion dollar HQ towers and Spheres. I don't see them ditching Seattle any time soon, especially with 50k employees based there. What's more likely is they'll cap their growth in Seattle and all future growth in the region will be spread between Bellevue and whichever other suburbs they select.Bob_C said:
