Amazon plans to relocate its entire Seattle-based worldwide operations team to Bellevue, Wash., by 2023, adding thousands of employees to its new campus just across Lake Washington, according to an internal email obtained by GeekWire.
Moving a large and critical team away from Amazon’s Seattle headquarters is a significant relocation of employees on its own, but it’s also a weighty symbolic gesture — the clearest sign yet that the tech giant is cooling on its hometown while doubling down on a neighboring city.
Sources familiar with the plans said several thousand employees will be moving to Bellevue in the years ahead. Amazon confirmed the authenticity of the email obtained by GeekWire.
Worldwide operations is one of the most critical teams at Amazon, the arm responsible for getting packages to customers’ doors. It oversees more than 175 operating fulfillment centers around the world and the 250,000 employees who work there. The team also manages Amazon’s thousands of delivery truck trailers and its fleet of 40 airplanes. New logistics initiatives, like Amazon’s “Delivery Service Partners” program, also fall under the worldwide operations purview.
Amazon will start moving employees to Bellevue this month and will finish the migration by 2023. The company currently has 700 employees in Bellevue and more than 45,000 at its Seattle headquarters.
It would take some time for Amazon’s Bellevue team to grow to a size that rivals Seattle, but moving the worldwide operations team is a big step in that direction. The migration adds weight to the theory that Amazon is shifting its focus to Bellevue and other cities across the country amid ongoing tensions between the tech giant and its longtime hometown.
Why would Amazon move one of its most essential teams out of the company’s Seattle headquarters? Amazon hasn’t yet commented publicly, but there are a few possible reasons.
That animosity came to a head last year, when Seattle officials passed a tax on big businesses, like Amazon, to fund affordable housing, a pressing issue in the region. The business community balked at the tax, leading the city to repeal it less than a month later. The fight over the so-called “head tax” became emblematic of Amazon’s strained relationship with Seattle. EXCERPT
Liberal hypocrites move out of their urban Seattle headquarters to the mighty whitey suburbs of Bellview Washington.
Say it isn’t so, Mr. Bezos.
I got an idea! Let’s kill the goose and take ALL of the EGGS!!
So the clueless Amazon progressives will then fornicate Bellvue, obviously.
Residents of Bellvue be afraid, be very afraid.
Sadly, there is only solution to progressives.
They’d fare better IMO if they left the state entirely. The diseased liberal mentality of tax them to the breaking point found in Seattle unfortunately permeates much of the state of Washington and Oregon both.
There are developers chomping at the bit to build high-rise apartments in places like Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
They are stopped by the very same people who pretend to give a damn about the homeless: The rich, elitists who don't want apartment complexes spoiling their view of the Pacific.
Also, these so-called homeless advocacy groups are a fraud as well. Then factor in things like rent control, Section 8, and illegals, and it's created a perfect storm.
But if you don't let developers get into the market, you're going to keep having homeless people. It's classic supply and demand.
It must really be bad if even Bozos notices.
They’re like locusts.
Actually, they’re more like wild boars that bring disease and parasites.
Yep! They talk a good game, but ultimately these hypocrites would rather take their show on the road, away from the tent cities and urban blight. I enjoyed visiting there last week, the cashier-less Amazon store was interesting, but not all that. Most of their thousands of employees probably wouldn't be caught dead in the liberal-invented dystopia of Seattle anyway, so they're probably mostly happy about this.

Formerly whitey...now it’s almost entirely Asian and Indian. Even when I lived there three years ago, it was the only city in the state where whites were a minority. My daughter-in-law used to work at Amazon and their complex is gigantic, almost as big as Microsoft’s campus in neighboring Redmond. Seattle must have really pissed them off...
Living here just north of Seattle, with the insane city council in Seattle, I have begun saying that the council is just driving a giant clown car of a city.
A developer told me yesterday that there is currently more development in Seattle than anywhere in the world Big buildings keep going up and I have to wonder who will move into them with the insane liberal policies of the city.
A couple thousand illegals crossing the border a day ought to fill them up just fine.

Watch “Seattle is Dying” which is on YouTube. Worth watching.
Thanks to Liberal Marxists, Seattle Is Dying as is every city where the Marxist Left is in control, e.g., San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, NYC, Newark, and many others. This is the Left’s model for the entire USA.

IF only!
Bellevue is almost 40% foreign born.
A huge segment of that is former H-1B visa workers (Microsoft HQ is just 5 miles away in Redmond) who graduated to Green Cards or citizenship.
As to Bellevue politics....
Washington state has a “Top Two” primary system.
In 2018, our incumbent Democrat Congressman was reelected with 70% of the vote - down from 75% in 2016.
His opponent - from the Socialist Party - got 30%!
Just a couple days ago I got a donation request from the Washington state Republican Party asking me to support the 2020 candidate in my Congressional District.
LOL! - straight into the trash can.
Champing at the bit as in “stamping on a human face- forever”
