More than 11,000 workers in Seattle, Redmond and Bellevue have been affected by WARN-notice layoffs in 2026, according to WARN filings tracked by Layoff IQ (September 2026). Capstone helps Puget Sound employers give departing employees 1-on-1 help from a professional writer, fully virtually and on Pacific time.

Built for the Puget Sound workforce

Seattle-area reductions have been concentrated in cloud and software, e-commerce, gaming, and the corporate teams that support them, along with aerospace and healthcare. Our writers help engineers, program and product managers, and business teams show measurable results and stand out in a crowded local market.

Outplacement packages

Each package is priced per employee. We offer volume pricing for groups of 10+.

Custom programs are available for larger reductions, including group workshops on-site or virtual.

Planning a reduction under Washington’s WARN law

Washington’s own WARN law took effect July 27, 2025. Employers with 50 or more employees in Washington generally must give 60 days’ written notice before a mass layoff of 50 or more employees in a 30-day period, or a business closing affecting 50 or more employees. Building outplacement into the notice period helps employees start their search right away.

How it works

1. Tell us what you need. Share the number of employees, their roles and your timeline. You’ll get a quote within 24 hours.
2. We introduce the service. We give you a short, ready-to-use description to include in separation packets, or we can join a group session.
3. Employees book directly with us. Each person schedules their own consultation. HR doesn’t have to coordinate anything.
4. You get simple reporting. We send regular updates on how many employees have started and completed. Individual details stay confidential.

Frequently asked questions

How much do outplacement services cost?

Our packages start at $499 per employee. They’re priced by career level, with volume discounts for groups. Traditional outplacement firms often charge thousands per person or require multi-month contracts. We focus on the services that make the biggest difference in a job search, at a fixed price.

Who pays for outplacement services?

The employer usually pays, and the service is offered as part of the severance or separation package. Employees don’t pay anything and book their sessions directly with us.

Can you support employees who are in Seattle and elsewhere?

Yes. All services are virtual, so we can support employees in Seattle, on the Eastside and anywhere else in the U.S. under one program.

Is it confidential?

Yes. Employee conversations and documents stay private. HR only receives summary information about who has used the service.
