Amazon announces return to five-days-a-week, in-person worklife

Let's be real: You've probably heard the news. If not, Amazon employees have been told that they'll be embracing a five-days-a-week, in-person work environment starting 2025.

We are so excited for Bellevue as a business community, and are looking forward to all the opportunities that we will be presented with as a result.

Check out coverage from The Seattle Times here — our President & CEO Joe Fain is featured — and read the message from Amazon CEO Andy Jassy here.

"Amazon is following the lead of thousands of local companies — many of which aren’t regularly under a global magnifying glass — in recognizing the value of face-to-face collaboration,” said Fain. “We are excited for what this means in igniting a vibrant downtown Bellevue, and are equally as excited for its potential to help bring Seattle’s downtown back to life.“
