Amazon has as much office space in Seattle as the next 40 biggest employers

Right, because Seattleites are the ones who have to actually deal with Amazon.

The efforts that the OP is talking about are meant to make Amazon appear better to the Seattleites of this universe than it would appear to the Seattleites of some alternate universe in which Amazon wasn't making the same efforts.

That's a wholly different goal than making Amazon appear better to Seattleites than it does to residents of other cities.

I'm not sure what efforts OP is referring to. I'm not aware of any. Either way, OP makes it sound like Amazon doesn't get blamed for all kinds of things (it does) and like people in Seattle don't think Amazon has entitled employees. I hear both complaints constantly.

I'm contending that Amazon has approximately the same reputation in Seattle that Google has in the Bay Area.

With same-day delivery and the place where they experiment with most of their new ideas, we see Amazon as a utility here
