About Us
The Washington Aerospace Partnership is a coalition of business, labor and local government leaders working to grow aerospace industry jobs in Washington. The Partnership is developing a unified vision/agenda on which communities all over the state can collaborate to ensure that Washington remains the leading location in the world for aerospace.
Aerospace is vital to Washington's economy. Aerospace companies and their suppliers support more than 200,000 jobs in our state and pay $5 billion plus in wages. Some 650 aerospace companies are operating in 28 counties.
In addition to creating jobs and generating business, aerospace workers are generous contributors of time and money to charitable, civic and cultural programs throughout the state.
Three co-chairs lead the Partnership:
- Bob Drewel, Executive Director, Puget Sound Regional Council
- Tayloe Washburn, Chair, Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce
- Rick Bender, President, Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO

"I have joined the Washington Aerospace Partnership to help keep the Seattle area the world's largest aerospace cluster and to help the 650 aerospace businesses in our state gain access to the resources they need to sustain revenues and fuel a job-growing economy."
--Tracy Corley, President & Chief Strategist, TsuluWerks
"While we supply mostly commercial and residential hardware, we know that we all are greatly impacted by Boeing and all the support channels that feed them. I agree, we need to do everything possible to keep them here in our backyards."
--Greg Lunde, President, Builders' Hardware & Supply Company, Inc.
