Its location cell is free text. One notice names a county ("King County"), others list up to seven towns, and one runs past the cell's limit and stops at "and B". 12 notices this year leave the location blank, Amazon's 2,198 and T-Mobile's 637 among them, so a city total will miss them. Count them by employer instead. Every 2026 notice prints a worker count. The file holds 1,553 rows, and one exact twin from 2026 is folded into a single notice. We read it on November 10, 2026, and the newest notice in it is dated November 4, 2026.
