Amazon founder Jeff Bezos announced late Thursday he plans to leave Seattle and move to Miami.
Bezos founded Amazon in 1994, then just an online bookseller, out of the garage of his rental home in a Seattle suburb.
Bezos said the move will allow him to be closer to his parents, partner Lauren Sanchez, and his space company Blue Origin.Bezos announced the decision in an Instagram post late Thursday, which included a video of him touring one of Amazon's earliest offices, the garage of his rented home in the Seattle suburb of Bellevue, Washington. It was there that Bezos in 1995 launched Amazon as an online bookseller, before transforming the company into a retail and cloud computing giant.
"I've lived in Seattle longer than I've lived anywhere else and have so many amazing memories here," Bezos wrote."As exciting as the move is, it's an emotional decision for me. Seattle, you will always have a piece of my heart."Amazon's rapid growth reshaped Seattle, particularly its South Lake Union area, where the company's headquarters sits.
