Amazon has closed its Amazon Fresh grocery store in Federal Way, Washington, affecting 125 employees. The store, located at The Commons mall, closed on Sunday, June 22, 2025 after about three years of operation. 

Amazon stated that the closure is due to an assessment of their offering, with some locations performing better than others. 

Customers in the area can still access groceries through Amazon’s online options with same-day delivery, according to an Amazon spokesperson. 

The closure of the Federal Way store is part of a larger trend of Amazon refining its physical store strategy. The company has recently closed other locations, including a Whole Foods Market in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. 

Amazon has been experimenting with different store formats, including Amazon Fresh grocery stores and Amazon Go convenience stores, and is now focusing on refining its portfolio based on customer preferences and performance. 

The Federal Way store was previously a Sears location and was renovated by Amazon before opening in 2022. Ironically, the closure comes after Amazon recently updated the store with Dash Carts Employees affected by the closure have been offered the opportunity to transfer to other Amazon Fresh locations.

Amazon operates three other Fresh grocery stores in Washington, including two in Seattle and one in Bellevue.

This video (there will be a second part to it) was actually the second incident in a spate of 24 hours of political vandalism against our Mayoral campaign in the City of Federal Way. 

The first incident occurred on July 4th, 2025 at the intersection of Celebration Park road and 13th Pl S. 

Regarding the first incident, I Spoke with officers Boyle and Rodriguez of the FWPD about our sign being taken down on 7/4/25 around 7:45pm PST at the Celebration Park Intersection on Celebration Park Rd. 

While we have documented that first incident accordingly, the second incident is even more brazen, as this video and the subsequent one will show. We will take the necessary steps to tackle these obvious acts of intimidation head-on, and we will be directed and aggressive in ensuring that the full extent of the law is brought to bare on the responsible parties. 

According to RCW 29a.84.040, each instance of defacement or removal is a separate violation. Misdemeanors can be punishable by up to 90 days in jail or a fine of up to $1,000, or both.

British Royal family refused to employ people from racial and ethnic minorities

To this day it is impossible for women or people of ethnic minorities to seek legal action due to discrimination they have faced working for the royal household.

Buckingham Palace had banned the appointment of "colored immigrants or foreigners" from serving in clerical roles in the royal household until at least the late 1960s, according to newly discovered documents from the National Archives. 

The documents were obtained by The Guardian as part of their ongoing investigation into how the royal family have used an outdated procedure known as the Queen's Consent in order to influence British law. 

The documents reveal that although immigrants and people of ethnic minorities were permitted to work in the royal family's staff as domestic servants, in 1968 the Queen's chief financial manager said that "it was not, in fact, the practice to appoint colored immigrants or foreigners" to cleric roles in the royal household. 

The documents do not indicate when this practice ended, and royal household records only indicate the racial and ethnic background of staff from the 1990s onwards, making it impossible to know when they repealed this rule. 

Buckingham Palace refused to answer questions about the ban and when it had officially been repealed when questioned on the matter by The Guardian. 

Due to the Queen's Consent procedure, the Queen is personally exempt from following equality laws which were put into place in the 1970. To this day the exemption makes it impossible for women or people of ethnic minorities to seek legal action due to discrimination they have faced working for the royal household. 

The royal family has been under scrutiny for racism and discrimination in recent years due to an interview with Oprah in which Meghan Markle revealed that she had struggled with her mental health during her time in the royal family, and alleged that when she was pregnant with her son Archie, an unnamed member of the royal family had expressed worry about the color of her unborn child's skin.
