Statement from Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers

January 30, 2023

“I have long said that Snohomish County’s aerospace future is secure and bright, and today’s announcement just confirms that reality. We appreciate Boeing’s partnership and their incredible contribution to our community and economy. As we say a fond farewell to the Queen of the Skies, we welcome her younger sibling, the 737 MAX. We will continue to be the heart of the global aerospace industry and look forward to the innovations that will continue to thrive at Snohomish County’s Paine Field Airport.”
