Boeing kicks off production of 737 aircraft at its new North Line; North Line investment creates 1,000 new SnoCo jobs, with more to come
EVERETT, WA – U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and senior member of the Senate Finance Committee, joined Boeing leaders, elected officials, and aerospace workers on July 10 to celebrate the opening of Boeing’s new North Line.
The North Line – which employs around 1,000 people, with more to come in the future – produces 737 aircraft, which is Boeing’s most popular airplane in its fleet.
“For the first time in the history of this company, the 737 line is coming to Everett, Washington,” Sen. Cantwell said.
“As somebody who has seen the challenges that we faced in aerospace — and yes, there have been challenges — we also know that we have met those challenges,” Sen. Cantwell continued. “We in Puget Sound can get the workforce, train and skill them — and yes, management is going to listen to the workforce when they have something to say. And we are going to build great products here in Everett.”
