Seattle, you will always have a piece of my heart," the billionaire said in an Instagram post on Thursday.
Private space company Blue Origin's operations are increasingly shifting to Cape Canaveral, Bezos added.
Amazon's rapid growth transformed Seattle's South Lake Union district, replacing warehouses and parking lots with offices towers, highly paid tech workers and expensive eateries.
