^^^It's a good question and I've wondered about that myself. How does 2 HQ's even work? Isn't one of them still the HQ? I mean somebody has to have the final say, right? So what does that make the other one?

I would say there is an even chance that the whole thing is posturing to put them in a better negotiation position.
Hell they already have WA politicians that are fearful of loosing their tax base on the ropes asking for a re-boot to the local dialog/relationship.
I'll have to dig into that later.

The RFP I linked is very unspecific about what goes where or why but yep It's a business that's easy to split up like that IMO. Even now they're talking about 15-17 years out.
Ed Murray was particularly pathetic when this was all announced.... what was it he said? "I'm going to meet with them to discuss their future needs" a bit late I thought?

Was looking for an article I read on Amazon culture a while back. Interesting read, and makes you wonder if having Amazon in your town is really that desirable, other than the obvious financial benefits.

Lots of other articles out there....

I don't wonder about having Amazon in Seattle. At all.
