Watch: Zuckerberg’s superyacht arrives in Seattle just as Meta cuts 1,400 local jobs
The Meta CEO's 387-foot Launchpad passed through the Ballard Locks toward Lake Union on Tuesday, the same day the company disclosed nearly 1,400 layoffs in Washington state.

The timing of the boat’s arrival in Seattle and the job cuts was coincidental, but the irony was not lost among the people who hustled down to the locks to see the giant yacht after word spread through the neighborhood and online. Some booed from the shore and heckled the crew.
Bumpers on the side of the boat were about the size of small SUVs, while the back deck had a covered pool and hot tub. More than a dozen crew members were visible, many enjoying the trip through the channel on a partly sunny evening.
