It looks like the 1,800 employees who are assigned to one of Amazon's downtown Seattle offices will finally be getting a new, safe place to work.
Yup, crime in Seattle is so overwhelmingly bad that Amazon just up and pulled some of its employees from a downtown location.
Citing an increase in violent crime, Amazon announced Friday it would temporarily relocate its workers from the company's office space at 3rd Ave and Pine St in downtown Seattle…
"Given recent incidents near 3rd (Ave) and Pine (St), we're providing employees currently at that location with alternative office space elsewhere," an Amazon spokesman said in an emailed statement. "We are hopeful that conditions will improve and that we will be able to bring employees back to this location when it is safe to do so."
"Hopeful that conditions will improve"?!?!
Yeah right!
As if the continuation of liberal policies will somehow magically begin to turn the city around instead of sticking to its natural course of destroying it.
Good luck with that!
In the last few weeks, shootings, including one that killed a 15-year-old boy, have rocked the busy stretch of downtown. Seattle Police has set up a mobile precinct along 3rd Avenue with officers on bikes patrolling the area, too.
Yeah, no wonder Amazon is moving its employees.
Let us not forget that Seattle has lost hundreds of police officers over the past two years due to the city's overall anti-police stance as well as their vaccine mandate for first responders.
So they're really struggling to keep this "liberal paradise" alive.
Are you surprised?
I guess maybe Amazon can move its employees back to this location once conservatives move in to save the city of Seattle.
Probably gonna be a while.
Here's what Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell's office had to say:
Mayor Harrell is working every day to make downtown a safe and thriving neighborhood for residents, workers, and businesses. While it will take time to reverse longstanding safety issues, Mayor Harrell's early efforts are critical first steps to address crime and improve safety through dedicated SPD officers, a mobile SPD precinct, and additional environmental changes. Mayor Harrell will continue to develop a comprehensive approach to public safety in collaboration with police and safety advocates, community members, service providers, and businesses, including Amazon, to activate, revitalize, and restore downtown for all.
Again, good luck with that...
