(The Center Square) Starbucks is moving forward with a new series of 61 staff reductions in its corporate headquarters in Seattle.

All the layoffs are in the company’s technology department and are a result of a reorganization within that group, according to a notice filed with the Washington State Employment Security Dept on May 8.

Starbucks officials did not respond to a request for comment.

Starbucks announced last month that it is moving some Seattle technology teams to Nashville as part of the opening of a regional office there. The company has said its main office will remain in Seattle.

Company officials have said that the new regional headquarters will employ 2,000 employees, but have not said how many jobs will be moved from Seattle to Nashville.

Starbucks has around 3,000 corporate employees in Seattle.

@Dee, you're from the Pacific NW, right? *points above* Thoughts?
