Boeing in Washington

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.

This website is a home for stories about our commitment to this state, the environment and the good work being done every day by our hundreds of partners in the communities around us. If you’d like to learn more, sign up here to receive periodic Boeing in Washington newsletters.
