How 'big tech' like Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook, dominates Seattle

Big tech now makes up 20.2% of Washington's overall economy. That's the largest share among all 50 states. *
When Amazon was founded in Seattle in the mid 90s, Jeff Bezos had no idea what it would become.
Now, is big tech, TOO big? The size of the big tech footprint certainly is growing. Here's the impact on jobs from Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook.....

Problem is that majority of workers are coming from out of state

I moved from Kirkland in 2009 to Northern VA. (D.C Suburbs) It was one of my favorite places to have lived. Beautiful green all around and you get used to the weather. Seattle’s geographic location is very unique and offers so much. The city has was enjoyable, but the traffic got worse every year. People were being gentrified and herded from central district and beyond to south king county or beyond. The change was very rapid. I wish the best for this city and area, a lot of angry people who live in such a beautiful environment. Very strange

Amazon and other Big Tech needed a place with a high degree of literacy, technical ability, and education, and Seattle is exactly the place! 👍

Are they arresting rioters and mobs running through suburbs? I wish they'd dominate that.

I bet they will have the luxury of having the police. The CEOs and all their employees will have access to the police. And for the rest of you. You are on your own. A 2 class system is next in Seattle. The super Elite wealthy. And the Tent Cities, used needles, and no utilities anywhere poor
