BELLEVUE, Wash. — Amazon and T-Mobile are slashing hundreds of jobs in Bellevue and across Washington state, dealing a major blow to the region’s tech-heavy workforce as companies restructure amid shifting economic and industry pressures.
Amazon is eliminating 2,198 positions statewide, including 626 corporate jobs in Bellevue, according to a regulatory filing with the Washington state Employment Security Department. The cuts are part of a broader reduction of 16,000 jobs companywide and follow an earlier round of layoffs in October that affected more than 2,300 employees in the Puget Sound region.
