A Bellevue-based global logistics company, Expeditors, announced Monday that 230 employees would be laid off across several Washington locations.
The layoffs span five locations, including Bellevue, Federal Way, Lynnwood, Seattle, and Airway Heights, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) filing.
The WARN notice submitted by Senior Vice President Courtney Hawkins noted that the layoffs are a result of workplace restructuring, which involves the company’s U.S. Global Technology Department.
