Boeing’s Everett focus draws aircraft suppliers
The Puget Sound Business Journal Reports-
The epicenter of Washington’s aerospace industry is shifting north, following the lure of cheaper land near Boeing’s bustling Everett plant.
A decade ago, Boeing Commercial Airplanes occupied a sprawling complex of office buildings adjoining the 737 assembly plant in Renton.
But with the headquarters moved and most of that property now becoming shops and apartments, almost all that’s left in Renton is the 737 plant, sandwiched between a new LA Fitness and Lake Washington.
Everett is the new hub for aerospace. Most of Boeing’s designers work in relatively new facilities there. Last week, as engineers were switching on 787 Dreamliner landing gear for the first time, civic leaders gathered nearby to break ground for a 211,000-square-foot factory for Korry Electronics, which is relocating from Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood.
