It's pretty hard to argue that Amazon's relationship with the city is not toxic.

  Seattle elected and re-elected Kshama Sawant to the city council. She is an avowed socialist, and is openly hostile to Boeing and Amazon. At one point she wanted to nationalize Boeing. I'd think twice about investing in anything under her sway.

    She's an elected official, which means some Seattle people seem to think her ideas are worthwhile.

      That's right, she's reflective of the community. And if that community is hostile to Amazon/Boeing, why should they continue to invest in that community? The Seattle mayoral election candidates are all well over on the left. There isn't even anyone to vote for if you aren't on the left.

        Out of curiosity, what has Amazon actually "invested" in the community?
