Washington Aerospace Economic Concentration

Aviation has a long history in the state of Washington dating back to the beginning of the

twentieth century. Just a few years after Charles Hamilton flew the first heavier than air aircraft

the notable figure, William Boeing, took his first flight. From there, war and a new industry of

airmail began to shape the current economic concentration of aerospace in Washington state

(Washington State, 2020). Washington leads the country in the aerospace industry and is the

most competitive while the US provides half of the world’s production in aerospace. This

industry has been at its peak with a very large growth rate. (Teal Group, 2018). There are many

factors that have influenced the aerospace economic concentration in the pacific northwest and

its evolution. Competition, supply chain, and the four factors or production have influenced this

evolution and conversely the concentration impacts them as well.

Competition

Boeing trailblazed in a new industry that was set to skyrocket based on the quickly

approaching demand for air travel and even space. By beginning this journey in Washington

state, he laid the foundation on which the economic concentration would be built. The first major

demand of the new industry was quality part manufacturers which is where Boeing began. Other

new manufacturers also set up shop in Washington since that is where the business was

(Washington State, 2020). Once manufactures became concentrated in the same area it became

advantageous for any competitive aviation company to move to the same area based on part

availability and transportation. Parts coming from aviation manufacturing could be quite large

and heavy leading to high shipping costs. To stay competitive and reduce cost companies would

move to the same area (Community Attributes, 2016).
