Seattle businesses feel Amazon's return-to-office ripple
Briefly

We have already noticed an increase in foot traffic and sales, with more customers visiting us for lunch... there’s a sense of excitement and renewed energy.
Amazon's in-office mandate is great for downtown recovery and sets a positive example for other businesses.
Tens of thousands of employees returning to offices has led to a 15% to 20% rise in commute times and heavier congestion during rush hours.
Seattle's bike, scooter and glider ridership has surged, with this month's trips up 138% citywide compared to the same period in 2024.
