Cory Ertel, Regional Advocacy Representative for Boeing and a member the Anacortes Noon Club provided an update on Boeing in Washington that included:

Washington has been at the center of aviation since 1916, when Bill Boeing founded our airplane company in a shipyard on Seattle’s Duwamish River. Today, Boeing is committed to leading in aviation and innovation by offering airplanes and services that deliver superior safety, design and efficiency. Many of our most innovative products are designed and built here in Washington, and we owe this success in no small part to the talent and community support of people in Washington state – thank you!

Today, there are more Boeing employees in Washington than anywhere else in the world. Boeing has major facilities located in Everett, Renton, Auburn, Frederickson and beyond.

While Boeing is best known for our products and people, we are also keenly focused on improving the communities where our employees live and work. Through purposeful investments, employee engagement and thoughtful advocacy efforts, Boeing and our employees support innovative partnerships and programs that include improving access to education resources, workforce and skills development, and supporting our military and veteran communities.
