TikTok significantly increased its Bellevue workforce to 2,200 employees in 2025, a 30% rise from the previous year. This growth occurred despite two rounds of layoffs impacting approximately 140 local employees, primarily from the TikTok Shop division. The company has also consolidated its office space, moving into Lincoln Square North while reducing its footprint at Key Center. This expansion solidifies TikTok as a major employer in downtown Bellevue, even as other tech companies in the area have announced job reductions. The company continues to post numerous open positions, suggesting further growth in its Bellevue operations.
