Zillow Group to Cut 91 Washington Employees, Hits Seattle Tech and Product Roles

Zillow Group filed a WARN notifying Washington state that its subsidiaries plan to permanently lay off 91 employees across Washington beginning Oct. 5, 2026. The cuts will affect Zillow's Seattle headquarters and home-based workers statewide, spanning dozens of roles concentrated in technology, product development and management — notably senior product managers, software development engineers, senior UX researchers and related positions. The company said the reductions are part of a restructuring that includes relocation or outsourcing of some operations and maintained that headquarters and business operations will remain open; affected employees were notified more than 60 days before the planned separations and will continue to receive pay and benefits until their employment ends. The notice also stated workers who accept other positions at the company before the effective date will not be terminated and that none of the affected employees are union-represented or have bumping rights.

Zillow Group disclosed this layoff in an official WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) notice recorded by the WA state workforce agency on August 4, 2026.
