Salesforce Layoffs Hit Washington State With 59 Job Cuts

The layoffs, disclosed in a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notice filed with the state, will affect employees in both cities. The notice does not specify which departments are impacted, but the company has said the cuts are part of ongoing restructuring efforts targeting tech, support, and marketing roles across its regional offices.

Salesforce, which has a significant presence in the Pacific Northwest, has been trimming its workforce over the past year as part of a broader cost-cutting initiative. The company has not announced any further layoffs in the region beyond this round.

Affected employees will receive severance packages and transition support, according to the company. The exact number of employees in each city was not disclosed.

The layoffs are scheduled to take effect in October 2026, giving affected workers several months' notice. Salesforce has said it will work with employees to help them find new roles within the company where possible.
