It’s not just Amazon to blame, there’s just a shit ton more people living in Seattle with many tech companies having offices here. The main problem for traffic is actually a driver culture clash between transplants and native Washington drivers. Don’t believe me? 10-15 years ago, almost all the traffic could be attributed to some sort of accident. Nowadays traffic is never related to an accident and it all occurs at interchanges and merges on the highway. Washington drivers like to queue up miles ahead of time for exits they have, they’re also deathly afraid of cars merging into their lane and will switch lanes defensively. Both sides generate a lot of traffic waves when they continually clash.
