the city doesn’t care - it is hostile to all profit

Amazon, the most woke company on Earth... are slowly moving their operations to the eastside suburbs - they’ll continue to hold the valuable real estate in the city of course.

I am old enough to remember back in the seventies when Seattle was hard-hit by set backs at Boeing (the SST program was cancelled), and shipping and lumber were hard hit too. The joke was ‘will the last person leaving Seattle please turn out the lights?’ Now Seattle is in for a repeat, but totally self-inflicted.

Progressivism is like that parasitic bug that causes yellow shit storms ... once it gets into the water and soon lots of people have it.

And now they are talking about taking down CHAZ. Weird how that works. A billion dollar company says they are leaving and now they want to enforce the law.

[Rummyfan]

I get wanting to leave Seattle, but Phoenix? Not exactly stepping up in the world.

More sunshine that's for certain. But a long way to the shore....

[adorno]

Seattle needs a new name.

Ideas? Anybody?

Rhymes with Seattle, but it's very descriptive of what's happening and will continue to happen to Seattle and Washington (state)....

How 'bout: Seattle needs a new name.

Seattle = Skedaddle

skedaddle (definiition): run away, scram especially : to flee in a panic.

Very appropriate.

[AmericanMermaid]

That works, too!

[jonascord]

Is this why that airhead Durkin, the “mayor” of Seattle, just blinked about her “summer of love”?

[shotgun]

Leningrad, since they already have his statue.

[dfwgator]

Moscow is a Right-Wing City now, Leftists hate modern Russia, that’s why Leningrad makes more sense.

[ladyjane]

They should go to Boston???

It’s just like Seattle only colder in the winter.

I have a friend who lives in a very affluent area near the Common. They have armed guards by the door of their condominium. Do you know what it costs to have two armed guards at your door?

[lewislynn]

They should go to Boston. Arizona might be savable. But it needs to stop importing idiot democraps

Right, because they don't "import idiot democraps" to Boston... because it's already infested with them. And has been forever.

Get a clue!

[AlaskaErik]

Boeing left years ago didn’t they?

Yeah, for Chicago. Never could figure that one out.

[Aussiebabe]

Good point! Why go to Phoenix, it has one of the highest rates of crime in the USA. Going from the frying pan to the fire.

[Not A Snowbird]

Come on down! We’re mostly rational here.

[MplsSteve]

So what would be wrong with Smead moving completely out of Seattle and setting up HQ in one of better suburbs of Seattle?

It sends the message that they like Washington State but that Seattle is a lost cause. By staying in that area, it helps retain their workers.

[VideoDoctor]

I'm sure many of the workers will be excited about this move. /s

The flight to SAFETY outweighs ALL else.

If you read the article, you find out, “As of May 31, the firm managed approximately $1.58 billion.” Hunter Biden got $1.5 B from the CCP as a payoff to daddy.
