T-Mobile Axes 77 WA Jobs Closing 6 Locations As High-Tax Exodus Hits Bellevue

T-Mobile — headquartered right here in Bellevue — just filed a WARN notice with Washington state announcing 77 layoffs across eight cities and the closure of six locations. The cuts hit Seattle, Bothell, Kennewick, Tacoma, Yakima, Bellingham, Vancouver, and multiple Bellevue HQ buildings, with layoffs beginning September 21st and wrapping by November 18th.And T-Mobile is far from alone. TikTok just axed 75 jobs in Bellevue. Meta is subleasing downtown Bellevue office space. Zillow is cutting 91 Washington workers. Starbucks is migrating functions toward Nashville while activists like Katie Wilson claim a boycott victory. Seattle's tech corridor is shedding jobs at an accelerating pace and nobody in power seems to care.Sean lays out the case that this isn't purely an AI displacement story — it's a Washington state story. A payroll tax. A millionaires tax pushed by Seattle-area activists and council members. A mayor who broadcast a "bye, bye" to high earners and practically celebrated employer flight. A governor and legislature that have made Washington one of the most hostile business climates in the country. Fall is coming, and Sean argues the wave of announcements isn't close to finished.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of Pacific Northwest politics, business, and the stories your local news skips.
