Amazon.com Announces 15,000 New Jobs in Bellevue, Washington
E-tail giant Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) famously calls Seattle, Washington "home" (although as it approaches the "Boomer" phase of its lifespan, it's buying a second home in Crystal City, Virginia).
In fact, Amazon likes Seattle so much that this morning it announced plans to expand its presence in a city that it sees as "similar to Seattle" -- Bellevue, Washington, just the other side of Lake Washington from Seattle itself.
Amazon first set up shop in this city next door in 2017, and currently employs more than 2,000 workers there. Now, it aims to grow that headcount by roughly 6,500%, growing employment in Bellevue to 15,000 "well-paid jobs...over the next few years."
