    That headline is pretty misleading: 1) REI never moved into the planned new HQ, 2) they’re going to use a combination of smaller offices around the greater Seattle area in combination with remote/WFH.

    As an aside, it sounds like they’ll be able to sell the new HQ for a profit (Source: local radio...probably KUOW)

    They need the liquidity.
