Amazon is adding 10,000 new jobs to its planned Bellevue, Washington expansion.

On Friday, the retail giant said its new leases on two buildiings there will now total 25,000 positions.

Earlier this year, the company lost a fierce fight against a new tax imposed by the Seattle City Council on large companies.

The new law's expected to raise some $200 million every year for the city's coffers by taxing companies whose payrolls exceed $7 million.
