Exclusive: Amazon moving thousands of employees out of Seattle, relocating key division to nearby city - GeekWire

Panzer was shaken from his kitty bed by crying and screaming and gnashing of teeth. Following the horrific noise took our brave kitty boy to the GeekWire site. With no digging at all in the posts there he discovered one about Amazon.

According to Monica Nickelsburg, in an email to employees Amazon announced yesterday the company would be moving it's worldwide operations division from Seattle, Washington. The move is to Bellevue, Washington, and is scheduled to begin this month. The company already has an office located in Bellevue and has also leased additional office space for the move. In addition to information in the GeekWire post about the move, there's also speculation about the reasons behind it too.

Seattle did want the head tax.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... Well ... Seattle will still have the main headquarters. ... At least for a while longer."
