Amazon’s Free HQ Tour

Narrated by: The Amazon HQ Tours Team

Publisher's summary

Welcome to Amazon! Several years ago, Amazon made a conscious choice to invest in downtown Seattle, even though it would've been cheaper to move to the suburbs. Amazon chose to commit to Seattle because they believed it was the right choice for Amazon employees and for the city. Now, Amazon's Headquarters is made up of over 30 office buildings. On this Amazon Headquarters Tour, you will learn how Amazon's unique urban campus is deeply connected to the surrounding community. In addition, you will explore Amazon's history, learn about Amazon's customer obsession, and find out why at Amazon, every day truly is Day 1. In fact, the tour starts at our office building called Day 1 at 2121 7th Ave. Seattle, WA 98121. It ends in South Lake Union at 399 Fairview Ave. N. Seattle, WA 98109.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Great Way to Experience Amazon

It was awesome to see how much of SLU is Amazon. What they are doing in the community shows their commitment to this urban area and how they are trying to make the space better for all that live and work here.

Ho hum

I thought the tour was not very interesting. Very self congratulatory. Except for the spheres, which are closed to the public, the buildings are architecturally banal.

Great Amazon audible tour

Loved it! I was doing the tour via google maps, but it was still wonderful. I loved the information about the building names and the preserved history that Amazon performed.

Thank you.

Buildings and Stories

Caveat: We toured on a weekend so we couldn’t get into the lobbies.

You get a sense of how Amazon’s offices are spread around the city and the efforts Amazon makes to be a good citizen. It is heavy on Pro-Amazon propaganda though, everything they do is great and all their employees are both smart and happy.

Worth taking the tour only if you have the time, not a must.
