And for all of you ecoNazis, what that really means is that this will be a huge warehouse dispatching thousands and thousands of things (primarily made in China) onto trucks for delivery throughout the Pacific Northwest.  

The items will be brought in from China (or Indonesia, or Vietnam, or India or Egypt or Bangladesh) in cargo ships using bunker fuel and then trucked or sent by train to this new warehouse using diesel fuel and sent out using more fossil fuel (diesel or gasoline) to the consumers.   Some by USPS, some by UPS and some by Fed Ex.

These 3,500 jobs are going to exist as long as you keep buying things from Amazon.

And until you get your electric battery-powered trucks and trains going, those fossil fuels are going to be consumed as well.  We won't even talk about the ships going electric!
