Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon has issued a “if Boeing chooses S.C.” statement (which could be viewed as an indicator that Boeing hasn’t chosen Everett):
“In the event a successful conclusion cannot be reached, we must all recognize that the Boeing Company and the IAM will maintain a strong presence in the Puget Sound and throughout our state. To go forward, we all must understand why these two parties could not reach an agreement so that we may all play a role in rebuilding this relationship and making Washington state the most competitive state in the union,” Reardon said.
On Twitter, one South Carolina real estate agent already is hopeful that Charleston has snagged Boeing’s second 787 line. The tweet:
“I am looking forward to help relocate boeing employees to SC charleston area”
