Amazon expands in Seattle suburb
The Seattle-based tech giant announced Friday that it was expanding its workforce footprint in Bellevue, with new office space plans that will host a total of 25,000 employees in the next five years, the Seattle Times reports.
That’s the same number of employees promised for Arlington, Virginia, by 2030. The Washington, D.C.-area city won Amazon’s HQ2 sweepstakes in 2018 by offering $573 million in cash grants and tax incentives.
Bellevue, meanwhile, hasn’t provided tax breaks or financial incentives to lure Amazon.
