SEATTLE (77WABC) — High crime resulting from woke policies is forcing Amazon to relocate all 1,800 workers from its downtown Seattle office.
Citing an increase in violent crime in the downtown Seattle area, Amazon made the announcement Friday that it would temporarily relocate its workers from their office at Third Avenue and Pine Street.
“Given recent incidents near Third and Pine, we’re providing employees currently at that location with alternative office space elsewhere,” an Amazon spokesman told DailyMail.com in a statement. “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.”
Amazon cited an increase in violent crime in the downtown Seattle area in its announcement last Friday. The police budget has been cut by $36 million since 2019 due to the woke policies.
In 2021, Seattle experienced a 24% increase in aggravated assaults, a 42% increase in shootings and shots fired incidents, an all time high and a 20% increase in violent crimes, the highest level in 24 years.
