It appears that an increasing number of Seattleites are using graffiti to vent their anger at Amazon and Jeff Bezos, who is being blamed for the city’s rapid changes. Everything from bridges to Amazon Lockers have been vandalized, some just blocks from headquarters.
Many see Bezos and Amazon as partially to blame for the dearth of affordable housing in Seattle, which has the third-highest homeless population in the nation, according to Zillow data. That was the message of the most ardent supporters of Seattle’s recently defeated head tax, which would have funded affordable housing and homeless services by taxing big businesses like Amazon.
