Well, who didn’t see this coming?
Coronavirus pandemic or not, an investment advisory company is leaving the cultural unrest in Seattle and moving its headquarters to Phoenix’s Camelback Corridor.
” … The unrest that has taken place in the city of Seattle … there is really is not a downtown business community today,” Smead Capital Management, President and CEO Cole Smead told KTAR News 92.3 FM.
Mayor Jenny Durkan has allowed and encouraged an unelected mob to take over and militarize several blocks of downtown Seattle. A man has died because of this. A deaf woman was reportedly sexually assaulted because of this. About 30,000 Seattle residents are now subjected to CHOP’s mob rule and they live in fear of criticizing it. Media are controlled. It’s a segregationist enclave, albeit one that is dependent on the benevolence of the surrounding nation it despises.
CHOP cannot feed itself or power its connection to Reddit. But it can and has killed jobs.
Mayor Durkan is killing Seattle.
“We’re hearing rumors of 40-story buildings that will be only 20-percent occupied by October,” Smead said.
Some of that will be companies allowing employees to continue working at home. Some of that will be companies leaving, taking the taxes they and their employees pay wherever they go.

I heard a rumor that Boeing may be leaving Seattle !
Re: Gates and his cohort can have the place all to themselves.
Gates lives in Medina, which is about 9 miles from Seattle. One has to cross Lake Washington to reach the city. Don’t know if Chaz or CHOP whatever you want to call it, will want to set up an enclave in Medina.
The Microsoft Headquarters is even farther from Seattle — 15 miles.
No problem; they’re run by democrats. Translation: raise taxes. That’s how lib pols “reimagine”.
I’m reminded of the manner in which the Mob - organized crime - takes over businesses, drains them of all financial worth and leaves lifeless husks. It’s a perfect blueprint for socialist “progress.”
In 1992, the “Year of the Woman,” we were promised that placing women in elective office would produce a kinder, gentler, more ethical and less corrupt reign in government. Somewhere, Schroeder, Mikulski, Boxer and pals are smiling as they count their shekels.
Very interesting. Thanks.
Boeing HQ is in Chicago, and they have big operations in Texas and Florida.
Moving the rest of it out of Seattle seems very doable, although they have many thousand employees still there.
RE: I heard a rumor that Boeing may be leaving Seattle !
Half of Boeing’s employees are in their Puget Sound campus which is 50 miles from Seattle.
Boeing has already been downsizing their Puget Sound location due the Coronavirus pandemic.
So maybe we can set aside that whole chestnut about a matriarchy being the solution to paradise on earth.
I get it.... it’s the whole woe is me aspect. It’s getting old. They just can’t seem to grasp cause and effect, as most were for it before they were against it. Sad people die/have died and worse that it’s a hard lesson that can only be learned once.
Good! Those people who are losing their asses during this crap are the same ones who elected the idiot mayor.....actions have consequences!!
