Boeing's military presence in Washington state could benefit from favorable developments in the government. These include a proposed $708 billion budget for Pentagon and expectations that a longtime Boeing backer will head the chairmanship of the House defense appropriation subcommittee.

Boeing is negotiating a new 20-year lease at the Renton Municipal Airport in Washington. The company has been slowly exiting the Puget Sound Area. The company has overhauled its production facility in the area.

Republicans might use Washington's loss of the Boeing 787 production line to justify their election in fall 2010, since the loss happened while the Democrats were in office. Boeing's selection of South Carolina as aircraft production site led to the loss of 3,800 jobs in Snohomish County, Washington. Democrats in Washington might also get the blame on other problems, such as the state's budget deficit.

Boeing's 787 production line in South Carolina (S.C.) seems to have no effect on aerospace jobs in Washington, the site of the first production line. In Washington, about 14 percent of all employees in the aerospace industry do not work for Boeing. Global outsourcing of 787 aircraft parts could also lessen the incentive for aerospace part suppliers to operate near the S.C. facility.

Boeing increased speculation that it would locate a second line for its 787 jet when it agreed to purchase a large factory that makes aft fuselages for the 787. It is believed that locating a second line in South Carolina could mean the loss of potential jobs in Washington. It could also open the door to a potentially wide-ranging shift of operations to the South.

Boeing Co. has opened a new facility in Kent, Washington for its Unmanned Airborne Systems Division, which has 30 people and could grow to employ more as the company hopes to attract more manufacturing work in the future. Division director Vic Sweberg said that the company plans to build a bigger staff to support defense-related work.

Southern states in the U.S. are luring Boeing Co. to locate a new plant in the region, with their growing industrial base and offer of permissive labor laws being some of the selling points. Boeing has said that it is not looking for a new plant site although it is not ruling out the possibility. Other details on the issue are discussed.
