Amazon Cuts 121 WA Jobs As Katie Wilson Pushes Millionaire Tax

Amazon dropped a WARN notice Monday confirming 121 layoffs across Washington state — 49 at the SEA106 tower in Bellevue alone, more across Seattle's downtown offices, and 32 warehouse workers at the BFI1 fulfillment center in Sumner. Roles cut span entry-level software engineers and applied scientists all the way to a vice president of legal and senior product managers. Another hundred-plus jobs gone from a state that has been hemorrhaging tech employment all year. The WARN database tells a broader story: T-Mobile, Columbia Hospitality, Starbucks, Salesforce, Tableau, Zillow, and Visa have all filed notices in recent months. Washington's political class has been conspicuously quiet — except for Katie Wilson, who is actively pushing a millionaire tax that would accelerate the very exodus these filings document. Sean connects the dots: Seattle's payroll tax already drove Amazon and others to shift headcount to Bellevue and out of state entirely. The proposed millionaire tax adds another layer of incentive to take capital, executives, and jobs to Tennessee, Texas, or anywhere that isn't taxing success out of existence. The cause and effect is playing out in real time on the WARN database every Monday morning.
