Bezos will not expand in seattle now. One large bank has property outside of the city limits. Guess where they will move?
Seattle is where I went last week. They have the property purchased downtown, and were in the process of renovating. While I was there, it was not being worked on, but was scheduled to restart this week. Rumor has it they'll just lease it out to others if this tax did go through.
There aren't a ton of good restaurants already downtown, and those that were, were very expensive. Every last one has a service charge of 20% already added, I assume that's for the minimum wage thing.
It was the first large city I could see myself living in, however. They have embraced technology above and beyond what I've seen anywhere else. You could barely find a taxi, it was all Uber and Lyft.
Surprised the city would have to impose taxs . Surely the liberal management of those great businesses would gladly turn over all proceeds to aid the poor....
I was in Seattle (Lynnwood/Everett) last week as well.
Not a big fan of Seattle but nice place when the sun is shining.

The problem with the "Taker" argument is that those statistics calculate in Federal jobs. Strip those out and it's a different story.
Everytime those fukers turn on their lights so they can look down their nose they can thank a taker. Anytime I see a so called wvian talk **** about this state I just laugh.
