Violent crime has been spiking across the country, especially so in big cities, and the impact of Democrat leaders’ policies are finally proving to be too much for businesses and employees who live or do business in the leftist enclaves. Now, amid rising crime in Seattle, even Amazon is pulling up stakes — at least temporarily — to shield its employees from the growing power of the city’s criminal underclass.
According to Seattle’s ABC affiliate KOMO, Amazon is temporarily shuttering one of its offices in downtown Seattle, citing rising crime for its decision that impacts “roughly 1,800 employees” who had been assigned to a building at 300 Pine Street in Seattle.
As KOMO explained, “In the last few weeks, shootings, including one that killed a 15-year-old boy, have rocked the busy stretch of downtown. Seattle Police has set up a mobile precinct along 3rd Avenue with officers on bikes patrolling the area, too,” but Amazon apparently hit its breaking point and didn’t want to continue sending its employees into the lawless neighborhood.
