A dealership with multiple locations across the state, including in Pasco, has closed.
Northwest Motorsport shut down its operations effective Jan. 23, according to its website.
The move came “after thoughtful consideration and evaluation of today’s pre-owned vehicle market conditions,” the website said. The Pasco location was at 816 N. 28th Ave.
It wasn’t immediately clear how many people worked there, but 142 people were laid off among the Lynnwood, Marysville, Pasco, Puyallup and Spokane Valley locations, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification from the state Employment Security Department.
A woman who answered the Pasco phone number on Jan. 24 confirmed the closure but said she couldn’t provide further information beyond pointing to the company website. An email to Northwest Motorsport seeking details about the Pasco location wasn’t immediately returned.
