The Mountlake Terrace-based health insurance company employs about 2,500 at its headquarters, and has additional Washington offices in Seattle and Spokane. With operations in Oregon and Alaska, its total staff is about 3,200.
Spokesman Eric Earling said he didn't have any details on the location or functions of the laid-off employees.
