Amazon's decision in 2007 to locate its headquarters in downtown Seattle has transformed the city in its image.
As the global e-commerce giant has grown from 5,000 employees in the city to more than 40,000, a flurry of development has followed.
The sea of parking lots, warehouses, motels, and car rental agencies that made up Seattle's South Lake Union and Denny Triangle has become gleaming skyscrapers, luxury rental towers, tech offices, and restaurants.
