Gregory T. Huang3/18/10

Seattle-based Amazon.com has leased 180,000 square feet of office space at Vulcan Real Estate’s 2201 Westlake building in the South Lake Union neighborhood, as first reported by the Seattle Times. That space is in addition to the 1.7 million square feet that Vulcan is constructing for Amazon’s new headquarters a few blocks north. Amazon employees are slated to begin moving into those offices next month, while 2201 Westlake will be occupied by Amazon by mid-year, the Times reported. The company’s current headquarters is on Beacon Hill.
