Gov. Chris Gregoire will hold a news conference at 2:45 pm to discuss the news.
Meanwhile, Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon said in a television interview, “We have to figure out what went wrong.”
Here’s more from his prepared statement:
“What’s important moving forward is that we all understand why these two parties could not reach an agreement so that we may play a role in rebuilding this relationship. In addition, we must bring all the necessary parties together in Olympia to reach agreement on removing the barriers that prevent new investment and job creation.”
And from Sen. Minority Leader Mike Hewitt, R-Walla Walla:
“Although today’s announcement was the blow we hoped would not come, it is also a call to action. The next battle starts today, right now. We must do everything we can to retain the 737 line and keep all present and future aerospace jobs in Washington. Today we lost thousands of jobs. We cannot afford to lose thousands more.”
