J. Rothstein remands the job applicant's complaint that the temp agency violated Washington law by not disclosing the wage scale or salary range of its job openings. The job applicant does not plausibly allege a cause of action, because while a job posting that does not contain compensation information is a technical violation, it does not harm or create a material risk of harm. Therefore, the applicant lacks Article III standing and the court does not have subject matter jurisdiction.

J. Rothstein remands the job applicant's complaint alleging that the equipment company did not include the wage scale, salary range or general description of benefits for its job openings in violation of Washington state law. A job posting that does not provide compensation information is a technical violation, which by itself does not create concrete injury. Because the applicant lacks Article III standing, the court lacks subject matter jurisdiction and the case must be remanded to superior court.

J. Goodwin grants the board defendants' dismissal motion as to the former police chief's federal claims for failure to state a claim.
