In 2003, Seattle declared itself a 'sanctuary city'. Now they have the third largest homeless
problem in the country. I think the article has it backwards. It seems like Seattle is trying to
punish Amazon for providing a lot of employment by charging Amazon $500 per employee. I sometimes
wonder how the 'news' comes up with its headlines. Faced with that kind of tax, Amazon is putting
expansion plans on hold. Sounds quite reasonable. I'd be looking at North Carolina or Arkansas!??

I wonder how Seattle or let alone Washington state would like it if Amazon relocated elsewhere? It could happen.


I'd for damn sure be looking to relocate. Maybe the powers that be in Seattle would get the word.
