The latest census data shows that remote work rates in Seattle have significantly decreased, with only 28.5% of the workforce now working remotely, down from 36%.
Amazon's decision to enforce a return to office policy for employees has undoubtedly contributed to the decline in remote work, as they now require in-office attendance at least three days a week.
Public transit use in Seattle saw a notable increase, with 66,000 residents using it to commute most days, reflecting a shift as fewer workers remained remote.
Despite the drop in remote workers, Seattle still has a long way to go to reach pre-pandemic commuting levels, evidenced by 180,000 residents who drove to work alone.
