Rep. Rick Larsen, WA-02, will focus on local businesses and initiatives that are growing the local economy, as well as efforts that are creating opportunity, during his time in Northwest Washington over the next week.

Larsen will tour local manufacturers to learn more about how they are growing and creating jobs, as well as what he can do to support these successful local initiatives. He also will focus on local efforts that are improving opportunities for people to participate in their communities by expanding access to health care, treating substance abuse and building community spaces.

“Manufacturing is a job-creator in the Pacific Northwest. Touring local manufacturers like Umbra Cuscinetti in Everett, which contributes to our aerospace industry, and Turnco Wood Goods on Whidbey Island, which builds furniture and other wood products for sale nationwide, helps me understand what more I can do to support our businesses to grow and create jobs.

“Another of my top priorities in Congress is to break down barriers so all people can fully participate in our economy and our democracy. Organizations like Community Health Center of Snohomish County are working to ensure people have access to the services they need, such as primary health care, to stay healthy and contribute to their communities. I look forward to learning more about these organizations’ successes and how I can support them into the future,” Larsen said.

Members of the media will be invited to attend Larsen’s tours of these local initiatives. More details will be forthcoming.
