Summary
CHS Northwest filed a WARN notice with the Washington Employment Security Department announcing a third set of planned layoffs in 2026 affecting 57 employees in Whatcom County. The planned cuts, tied to the company's sale of several retail locations (Ferndale Farm & Home, Lynden Farm & Home, Lynden Express & Gas, Nooksack Farm & Home and Nooksack Express & Gas), are expected to take effect on May 5, 2026. The article notes prior related actions: an earlier notice covering 38 layoffs tied to the sale of the Bellingham Farm & Home and a separate notice about selling Lynden True Value with 11 layoffs. CHS characterized these notices as part of store sales rather than other forms of restructuring.
