Over the weekend, The Washington Post reported that Crystal City officials were in advanced talks with Amazon over the location of its forthcoming second headquarters.

The level of detail in the discussions has grown to include how to publicize an announcement and the speed with which the tech giant would move employees to the Northern Virginia locale, per The Post, citing sources privy to these conversations. JBG Smith, Crystal City’s largest real estate developer, has taken some of its rental properties off the market in advance of the potential decision, the paper reports.

Jurisdictions have been trying to woo Amazon and its promise of 50,000 high-paying jobs and $5 billion in investment by offering a slew of tax incentives, many of which remain shrouded in secrecy. Last January, after receiving 238 bids, Amazon announced the top 20 finalists for its second headquarters, including Northern Virginia, D.C., and Montgomery County. But since then, the process has left the finalists searching for potential hints of their place in the hierarchy, relegated to reading the tea leaves in everything from Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ jet logs to company job postings. The finalists have all had to sign non-disclosure agreements, which Amazon’s director of economic development accused the Post’s source of violating.

And those who thought that the Post’s reporting on Crystal City was a slam-dunk for the Arlington area got a dose of cold water from the Wall Street Journal, which reported on Sunday that Amazon is in “late-stage talks” with at least three cities, including Dallas and New York City.

WSJ reported that these top candidates are not all talking in the same level of detail, but are all very much in the running. The paper cites sources who say that, in addition to building a large hub, Amazon may even mix things up by putting satellite operations in some of the runners-up.

The newspaper reported on Monday that Amazon’s new plan is to split HQ2 evenly between two locations—meaning 25,000 jobs per place. Crystal City remains in the running, and the company may announce its decision as early as this week, per WSJ.

The notion of Amazon coming to the D.C. region is not without critics, who have voiced concerns about HQ2 exacerbating the area’s housing affordability crisis, the lack of transparency over the incentives, and even the social impact of adding 35,000 programmers to a city.

Splitting the second headquarters between two places would “ease potential issues with housing, transit and other areas where adding tens of thousands of workers could cause problems,” WSJ reports.

Amazon has said that it wants to open its HQ2’s doors in 2019, making an announcement imminent.
