Expedia Group to Lay Off 58 Corporate Employees in Seattle
Expedia Group will lay off 58 corporate employees at its Seattle headquarters. A federal WARN notice says the permanent reductions take effect later this year.

Expedia Group will lay off 58 corporate employees at its Seattle headquarters, according to a federal WARN notice filed for the permanent reductions.
The cuts are expected to take effect later this year. The WARN notice classifies the reductions as permanent, which rules out recalls or seasonal rehiring for the affected positions.
What do the layoffs cover?
The 58 positions are corporate roles based at the travel technology company's Seattle headquarters — not field, customer-facing or property-level staff. The filing specifies that the reductions are permanent, meaning the company does not plan to restore these jobs once the layoffs take effect later this year.
Why does a WARN notice matter?
The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act requires large employers to give advance written notice of mass layoffs and plant closures. A WARN filing gives affected employees and state workforce agencies lead time before job losses occur, and it creates a public record of the scope and timing of the cuts. In Expedia's case, the notice establishes both the headcount — 58 — and the location of the reductions: the company's Seattle headquarters.
What comes next?
The layoffs take effect later this year. The scope of the reduction — 58 corporate positions at headquarters — signals a targeted restructuring rather than a broad workforce overhaul, and the permanent designation in the filing indicates Expedia does not intend to backfill these roles.
The company has not disclosed further detail in the notice about which corporate functions the affected employees worked in. Additional information on timing and severance, if any, would come from the company rather than the federal filing.
