Watch: Zuckerberg’s superyacht arrives in Seattle just as Meta cuts 1,400 local jobs

Mark Zuckerberg’s $300 million superyacht passed through Seattle’s Ballard Locks on Tuesday, the same day Meta disclosed plans to cut nearly 1,400 jobs in Washington state.

The 387-foot Launchpad, built by Dutch shipbuilder Feadship, traveled from Elliott Bay through the locks toward Lake Union, drawing a crowd along the walkway.
