JoB: I will take a look at your info and comment latter. However, consider that a lot of businesses that you are referring to are dependent on Amazon for their revenues–either directly, or indirectly. Most of the new construction is for Amazon offices or employee housing. Much of the new retail growth is to accommodate those employees. Same thing happened in Detroit. Lots of dependent businesses folded when the dominant businesses left town. What we sorely need for economic security are enterprises that have no dependance on Amazon. Seattle City officials are only interested in filling the ground floors of all those kitchenless housing hives so that Chinese investors can fill and flip their building investments to Wall Street.
