Rep. Rick Larsen, WA-02, applauded the groundbreaking today of the new 777X Composite Wing Center in Everett. The $1 billion investment will sustain thousands of jobs in Everett.

“Today’s groundbreaking marks an important milestone for the aerospace capital of the world, the Pacific Northwest. Boeing’s investment will drive long-term economic growth in our region, creating jobs and opportunity for thousands of people.

“Everett is the right place to get the 777X built. Our aerospace workforce is unrivaled, and Everett workers will manufacture planes that will carry people to every corner of the globe.

“The wing center is another step in securing Washington’s place as an international leader in aerospace manufacturing for generations to come,” Larsen said.
