KUOW reporters Joshua McNichols and Carolyn Adolph host 'That's Debatable: Amazon is Good for Seattle' on Wednesday, March 7, 2018, in Seattle.

We recently hosted a debate to answer a simple question: Is Amazon good for Seattle?

And the answer is: We don’t really know for certain. But the debate did have a clear winner.

The 20 places still in the running to win the company’s second headquarters have to be contemplating this same question as they look at what they’ve already offered to Amazon – and if they need to offer even more to attract HQ2.

In this episode of Prime(d), local luminaries make their best arguments for and against hosting the monolith in your city.

Can’t listen now? Leave us your email and we’ll send you this episode of Prime(d) for later. We we won’t share your information. Promise. Sign up here.

Our theme song is by Raymond Scott. You also heard "Heartline" by Pezzner, a Seattle artist.
