Internal Memo: Urban Decay “Contributing Factor” to Microsoft Conference Leaving Seattle
View at XBreaking
I have obtained the internal memo outlining reasons behind Microsoft Build’s exit from Seattle. This is an absolute indictment on Mayor Bruce Harrell’s administration and shows his failure to get the homeless drug crisis under control.

Seeking Next Location
Microsoft Build says it has “struggled to find its footing and identity post-Covid.”
It appears Las Vegas and San Francisco are two locations already being floated around for its next developers conference.

Urban Decay “was a contributing factor to their final decision”
But here’s the real kicker. Redmond, WA-based Microsoft is done walking around tents, urban filth, and open-air drug use in Seattle’s downtown core. Mayor Harrell had nearly four years in office to handle this problem but has failed to do so.

Losing Business
Visit Seattle is the city tourism bureau. Even this agency acknowledges the massive failure by the Harrell administration. There is no way to spin this epic debacle.

Seattle’s Failure
The city had one job to do. Clear out the downtown core for Microsoft’s tech elites for the biggest developer conference of the year. This is the lone tent that remains under the arch at The Seattle Convention Center.
