Any Seattle folks coming to Goodyear, AZ?
According to "Business Wire" Amazon.com plans on opening a new fulfillment center in Goodyear, AZ later this year --
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 18, 2008--To support growing customer demand, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), today announced plans to open a new fulfillment center in Goodyear, Arizona, during the third quarter of 2008. The new facility, operated by Amazon.com azdc, inc., will be more than 500,000 square feet and will create more than 600 full-time positions this year, with an additional 700 temporary positions during the 2008 holiday season.
I was just curious, is the new facility an expansion of the company or are existing jobs being relocated, and if so, how likely are any Seattle Amazon employees to relocate to Goodyear, AZ?
