Zuckerberg’s $300M Feadship yacht glides through Ballard locks as Meta trims 1,400 Seattle-area jobs
As Meta reveals 1,400 King County jobs will be cut amid an 8,000-strong global layoff, Zuckerberg’s $300 million Feadship Launchpad superyacht (387 feet) was seen passing through Seattle’s Ballard locks toward Lake Union. GeekWire called the timing coincidental, and there’s no report that Zuckerberg was aboard. The layoffs affect Seattle-area offices in Seattle, Bellevue, and Redmond, with notices already issued and cuts set to begin July 22 as Meta pivots toward AI initiatives.
