The Boeing Company Layoff — February 2025

Boeing filed a notice with Washington’s Employment Security Department stating it planned to lay off 396 workers in the state, affecting employees at facilities in Bremerton, Auburn, Everett, Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), Kent, Puyallup, Renton, Seattle and Tukwila. The notice expects the impacted workers' last day to be Feb. 21, 2025. The article notes Boeing had previously laid off 2,199 workers in Washington and has announced job reductions that could total about 17,000 company-wide, including plans to cut roughly 10% of its workforce amid financial, regulatory and strike-related pressures. Boeing, based in Arlington, Virginia, cited overstaffing and broader production and regulatory challenges as context for the reductions. The machinists’ recent nearly two-month strike and FAA production caps on the 737 MAX are mentioned as contributing strains on the company’s operations and finances.

The Boeing Company disclosed this layoff in an official WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) notice recorded by the WA state workforce agency on December 9, 2024. The notice covers 396 employees in Various, WA (Permanent County), with the layoff effective February 21, 2025.

That is roughly 0.2% of the 171,000 people The Boeing Company employs.
