Crime In Liberal City Runs Amazon Jobs Clean Out Of Town
It doesn't take a political analyst to figure out what party ran a city so far into the ground that Amazon, with all their capitol, had to close one of their facilities because of crime. Democratic-run Seattle Washington has become one of the Unites States' fastest growing shit holes between the spike in violent crimes and unchecked homelessness, the call to leave is an understandable one.
The New York Post reports that there are approximately 1,800 employees working in the building at the intersection of Third Avenue and Pine Street, although many of them have continued to work remotely since the onset of the pandemic. In a statement emailed to local news outlet KOMO News, Amazon announced that “given recent incidents near 3rd and Pine, we’re providing employees currently at that location with alternative office space elsewhere.”
“We are hopeful that conditions will improve and that we will be able to bring employees back to this location when it is safe to do so,” the statement continued.
Things have gotten so bad that police have had to ramp up efforts and launched a mobile police precinct in downtown Seattle. The mobile unit sits between 3rd and Pine st where a 15-year-old boy was murdered last Friday, according to KIRO7.
Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz said in a statement on Thursday afternoon that the police department “will be launching an initiative to curb the violent criminal behavior in the area surrounding 3rd Ave., between Pike and Pine St.”
A SPD mobile precinct is now at 3rd and Pine after a 15 y/o was shot and killed last night.
Neighbors say they’re relieved to see the crowds openly using drugs gone - but say it shouldn’t have taken the murder of a kid.

Obviously, the crime affects the smaller businesses worse than a large facility than could afford security. Business owner Brandon Davis runs Profit 3D gave his take. His shop is located near where the boy was stabbed:
“Sometimes I don’t want to work late because I’m thinking maybe it’ll be me that gets shot,” Davis said. “You come out here and it is a open drug market,” he said.
He’s calling on the mayor to make changes.
" I’d like the mayor to have less press conferences and I’d like him to actually tell the police to enforce the laws as written,” Davis said.
In a statement, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell said in part:
“These continued acts of violence and street disorder are unacceptable and beyond tragic. My heart is filled with sorrow. … We are launching a comprehensive and collaborative approach to address this crisis.”
