AmazonFresh Won't Deliver To Its Own Backyard

People at work were talking about AmazonFresh, Amazon's grocery delivery service that serves the Seattle area. I browsed their site, was impressed with their selection and their delivery options (pre-dawn delivery by 6am? Awesome!), and wanted to give them a try.

Trouble is, they won't deliver to our house.

Now, of course, they can't deliver everywhere. But we're pretty centrally located: we can walk to the I District, and bike to downtown and the ball fields. And get this: we live in proximity to the Amazon building. You know, the big PacMed building on Beacon Hill? Yeah, we can see it from our street.

Come on, Amazon, we know you can't deliver everywhere. But how come you deliver to West Seattle now, and can't deliver to folks living in your own backyard?
