Who Is The Seven Motor Corporation and Why Are They Facing a Pay Transparency Lawsuit?

The Seven Motor Corporation does business as Walker’s Renton Subaru and sells new and used vehicles, automobile parts, and related accessories, as well as car financing, leasing, repair, and maintenance services. The company is based in Renton, Washington, at 555 SW Grady Way. This case matters to you if you applied for a job at their Washington location — because the lawsuit claims the company’s job postings did not give applicants the wage and salary information they were legally entitled to see before applying.

What Did Seven Motor Corporation Allegedly Do Wrong in Its Washington Job Postings Between 2023 and 2026?

Plaintiffs claimed in the lawsuit that Seven Motor Corporation’s job postings for open positions in Washington did not disclose the wage scale or salary range being offered.

Washington’s pay transparency law, RCW 49.58.110, requires employers with 15 or more employees to disclose the wage scale or salary range — and a general description of all benefits and other compensation — in job postings. The law exists to help job seekers evaluate opportunities fairly and reduce pay gaps.

Under RCW 49.58.110, a job applicant who prevails against an employer is entitled to statutory damages of no less than $100 and no more than $5,000 per violation, plus reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

Seven Motor denies all claims and says it has not violated any law. It agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation. If you applied for a Washington job with the company during the class period, this case directly affects your legal rights whether you file a claim or not.

For a full walkthrough of how courts handle cases like this and what happens after a settlement is reached, see the guide on how to claim a class action settlement payment on AllAboutLawyer.com. Because the settlement payment is classified as non-wage damages and will be issued on a 1099, you should also check whether your Seven Motor settlement payment is taxable income before filing.

Are You Part of the Seven Motor Corporation Pay Transparency Class Action?

You are part of the settlement class if you applied for a job opening in Washington with The Seven Motor Corporation between January 1, 2023, and April 21, 2026, where the job posting did not disclose the wage scale or salary range and a general description of all benefits and other compensation for the position.

Here is exactly how to know whether this settlement covers you.

You likely qualify if:

• You applied for a position with Seven Motor Corporation (Walker’s Renton Subaru) in Washington at any point from January 1, 2023, through April 21, 2026
• The job posting you responded to did not list a salary range, wage scale, or full description of benefits
• You received a mailed notice from Simpluris with a Notice ID and PIN — this means the company’s records indicate you are a class member

You do NOT qualify if:

• You applied for a position outside of Washington state
• Your application fell entirely outside the January 1, 2023 – April 21, 2026 class period
• You applied for a position that did include the required wage scale and benefit disclosures

Seven Motor Applicants Outside Washington — Are You Still Covered?

The lawsuit was filed in King County Superior Court for the State of Washington, and the class covers applicants for job openings in Washington. If you applied for a role based in another state, you are not covered by this settlement. The law at issue, RCW 49.58.110, is a Washington state statute and applies only to Washington job postings.

If you are unsure whether your application qualifies for the Seven Motor Corporation pay transparency settlement, a free consultation with an employment discrimination attorney can help you assess your situation before the July 27, 2026 deadline.

What Are Seven Motor Job Applicants Asking the Court to Award in the Pay Transparency Lawsuit?

All settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form are eligible to receive an equal share of the settlement fund. The estimated payment amount is $2,172.30.

That estimate is based on the current number of known class members. Settlement payments will be characterized as non-wage damages and will be reported on a 1099. This means the payment is not treated as wages, but it may still be taxable. Check with a tax professional about how to handle the 1099 at filing time — or review the AllAboutLawyer.com guide on whether your Seven Motor settlement payment is taxable income.

What Could Seven Motor Job Applicants Receive If the Pay Transparency Case Settles?

The final payment per person will depend on how many valid claims are filed. If fewer people file than estimated, each payment goes up. If more people file, each payment goes down. The $2,172.30 estimate reflects the current projected class size, but it is not guaranteed. No money will be distributed until after the court grants final approval on August 28, 2026, and any appeals are resolved.

Should Seven Motor Class Members Opt Out or Object Before July 27, 2026?

What Does Opting Out of the Seven Motor Pay Transparency Settlement Mean for Your Rights?

If you exclude yourself, you will no longer be in the settlement class and will not receive a settlement payment. This is the only option that allows you to keep any right to sue Seven Motor Corporation about the same legal claims in this lawsuit. For most applicants, the estimated $2,172.30 payment is a strong reason to stay in the class. Opting out only makes sense if you believe you have a strong individual case worth more than the settlement value and have spoken with an attorney.

How to Object to the Seven Motor Settlement Terms Before July 27, 2026

To object, you must file written notice with the Court at King County Superior Court, 516 Third Avenue, Room C-203, Seattle, WA 98104, no later than July 27, 2026. Objecting means you remain in the class and still receive a payment if approved, but you ask the court to reconsider the terms. You must not exclude yourself from the settlement if you wish to object.

If you are considering opting out or objecting, speaking with an employment discrimination attorney before July 27, 2026 is strongly recommended.
