Episode: #2,600 - Amazon continues exodus from Seattle Office Tower - Relocates employees in nearby bellevue
Description: Amazon plans to reduce its Seattle area footprint and move out of a Denny Triangle office building, as the e-commerce giant grows its presence in Bellevue.
The company has let its lease expire at the Metropolitan Park North building located at 1220 Howell Street, reported the Seattle Times. Amazon had leased roughly 209,000 square feet of space at the property.
The move comes as Seattle area companies continue to evaluate their office footprints amid hybrid work, with Amazon notably making the decision to resume its return-to-office mandate.
