Amazon is set to vacate its office space at 1915 Terry Ave. in downtown Seattle by the end of May. The decision follows the company's twelve-year occupancy of the 251,000-square-foot building, known as Kumo, which is owned by Seattle Children’s.
Since 2020, the tech giant has relinquished more than 1 million square feet of office space in Seattle, primarily in the Denny Triangle area. This change comes amid significant layoffs, impacting over 1,400 employees in Seattle as part of a broader cut of 16,000 jobs announced earlier this year.
Amazon has not disclosed the number of employees currently stationed at Kumo. The company continues to expand its presence in Bellevue, where it has committed to housing 25,000 employees at its new regional headquarters.
