the port & aerospace
The Port, which is the third largest container port in the Washington state, is an integral part of the regional aerospace logistics supply chain. The Port of Everett handles all of the oversized aerospace parts of the 747, 767 (commercial and military), 777 and 777X airplane programs; and serves as a backup to the 787. Further, the 24/7 deep-water access was a key factor in the ultimate siting of the 777X program in Everett.
