Amazon has now been forced to relocate a significant amount of employees from its office in Seattle over fears about rising crime.
As The Daily Wire reports:
About 1,800 employees are assigned to the Amazon office on the corner of 3rd Avenue and Pine Street in downtown Seattle, according to local ABC affiliate KOMO News. Many of those employees work remotely. But a recent spike in crime on the block has forced the company to relocate in-office workers to a new space elsewhere in the city.
“Given recent incidents near 3rd and Pine, we’re providing employees currently at that location with alternative office space elsewhere,” an Amazon spokesman said in a statement emailed to the outlet. “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.”

In more recent news, people were shot and killed in a four-day period two weeks ago. The first victim was killed on February 27th, then another was shot and killed on March 1. But local CBS affiliate KIRO 7 reported that the city has a continuing problem on the block: fentanyl.
“Fentanyl, that fentanyl is crazy,” said one Seattle resident whose bus route takes him to 3rd and Pine on a daily basis. “It’s so easy to get it though, it’s everywhere. It’s so easy to get it. On the bus they smoke it. Every bus they’re smoking that fentanyl.”
The rise in drug use has reportedly also coincided with a major increase in illegal gun crimes as well.
Time to erase Seattle’s libtard dem government to get real POLICE to keep law & order for all the accountable law abiding citizens paying taxes to eliminate all free loading criminal thugs !
Amazon keeps funding the campaigns of Leftists, Marxists, Progressives and Communists. They will continue this absurd behavior UNTIL they or a family member suffers by these woke politicians and their decisions, but by then it will be too late.
Yes…and they don’t think we see that!

scum voting for communist democrat cult part leadership is destroying our America
blm, antifa, and communist democrat cult party members are terrorists!
Don’t feel one bit. Newsome and the Dems run California. The good folks in that state elected them, so now they can live with them.
It’s Seattle, just like CA, NY, IL, Portland and others.
Jeff supports politicians that put these measures in place and don’t punish the criminals.
Is he waiting for harm to strike one of his employees?
I thought Amazon was one of the woke corporations that approved of everything Democrat. Don’t tell me they’re running away from what they’ve helped create.
No sympathy….
No one wants to live in a crime ridden shithole. If you aren’t safe then you shouldn’t be there. Thanks to liberal politicians and the “woke” crowd a once nice city is now a dump and the deteriorating tax base will cause further crime and suffering.
“…..you shouldn’t be there….” Easier said than done. The average person is too poor to relocate. Even if they abandoned everything they owned (house, possessions, job) and fled, how would they pay for food or a place to stay elsewhere?
Crime in the United States is rising, exponentially, with the rise in illegal aliens allowed to cross our borders unchecked, without any vetting, and without any resistance from Biden’s administration. I do not know if this is designed action or simple stupidity among Democrats. The one thing I do know is Democrats recruit many illegal aliens as voters, who, of course, vote for Democrats. In fact, New York City has passed legislation to allow illegal aliens a vote in city elections. How stupid and callous is that? Liberals are giving this nation away without forethought or any hint of resistance.

It appears that the voters of Seattle got what they wanted, I can’t believe that Seattle has that many WHACKED-OUT voters.
