Meta is set to lay off 1,395 employees across its Seattle-area offices by July 22, 2026, marking a significant workforce reduction in King County, Washington. The layoffs will affect 699 employees in Bellevue, 259 in Seattle, 206 in Redmond, and 231 remote workers associated with the region. Notifications began on May 20, 2026, providing employees with a two-month notice period. These layoffs are part of a broader global reduction of approximately 8,000 positions announced by Meta in April 2026, which accounts for about 10% of its total workforce. In addition to the layoffs, Meta plans to close 6,000 unfilled positions and reassign 7,000 employees to AI-focused roles. This strategic shift underscores Meta's pivot from metaverse projects to artificial intelligence, with no current plans involving blockchain or digital assets.
