Amazon can’t possibly be that stupid. Seattle’s tax is now “only” $275 per employee. But next month or next year, it’ll be back up to $500 per employee, or maybe more.
It’s under construction so it makes no sense to abandon it. However, Amazon may choose to not occupy it, meaning they will move somewhere else.
I think it’s funny. Remember the old mark line of...he saw you coming? The Seattle council members.....saw Amazon coming.
