      This 777-300ER, which will be rolled out next month in Everett, will be Boeing's flight test aircraft. As the airline industry's unprecedented downturn enters its second year, the aerospace giant's airplane-making business faces significant challenges in 2003 -- and beyond.

  • Boeing's troubles hurt less and less; Seattle Times December 12, 1999, by Stephen H. Dunphy

    Boeing is in the middle of another of its cyclical downturns, having cut almost 20,000 workers from its payrolls here in the past 18 months, with an additional 10,000 or so to go next year. But the economy continues to bubble along with no sign of bursting any time soon, according to figures compiled by The Seattle Times.

    	Economic indexes: Manufacturing index slumps, but stocks are doing fine
    	Employment: Job growth continues despite Boeing layoffs
    	Travel/Trade: Down seasonally, but strong for the year

  • Destination: Spokane [As it prepares for the 21st century economy, Spokane has lured more than 100 companies to relocate in the Inland Empire] By John Soennichsen; Washington CEO, January 2000

    ... So, how does Spokane survive way out in the middle of nowhere? Ironically, the city's success has always been at least partly tied to its isolation from other urban areas. Back when settlers were first building shacks along the river, nearby Fort Spokane was a welcome outpost in the wilderness. When silver mining boomed in the 1880s, the city thrived as thousands of miners passed through on the way to northern Idaho claims. They bought supplies and returned regularly for entertainment and to wait out the long winters when mining activity ceased...

    IN February, Gov. Gary Locke established the 2020 Commission on the Future of Higher Education... (he) wants an innovative system of lifelong learning for all Washington's citizens... He wants the commission to examine the critical role higher education plays in creating a more vital economy..., including preparing a competitive work force... In the rush to conclude its work, however, the commission must not overlook ... - the state's community and technical colleges and private career schools... Our state has a serious shortage of skilled workers.. The most serious shortage is for workers in occupations that require two or three years of postsecondary vocational training. The Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board recently surveyed employers... Based upon 1,000 responses, 73 percent had difficulty finding qualified job applicants in 1997... There are about 38,000 job openings per year for workers with postsecondary vocational education, yet fewer than 20,000 graduate(s) at this level.

    Washington state's higher-education system is failing to produce enough people to program, design or run computer systems, according to educators and industry officials. The shortage of trained workers, combined with a booming economy, means high-tech companies are postponing projects, sending work to contractors in other states or countries, and importing employees from places such as India and Canada, industry representatives say. Figures from the Washington Software Alliance indicate that, not counting Microsoft, there are 9,000 to 30,000 jobs currently unfilled in the state in information technology..."

  • Economic memo: Making those numbers count Seattle Times, Sunday, August 2, 1998; Stephen Dunphy,

    "... Growth in the manufacturing sector has been driving the economy here for the past few years. But that growth flattened in March and April with employment in manufacturing basically unchanged... Trade, services and construction ... are up significantly. ... "The bottom line is an economy that has shifted decisively from goods-producing to service-producing growth,"... One thing to keep in mind...: Manufacturing employment is operating at an all-time high. Downward adjustments are from a very high base. Trade, services and construction are responding not only to current demand but also to a delayed response to the earlier buildup in manufacturing. The timing is typical and an example of the way the multiplier effect works. ... Boeing and Microsoft have done studies that show each new job for them creates two to three jobs elsewhere in the economy. Those jobs apparently are in trade, services and construction."

  • Teachers can't afford to live in their districts Seattle Times, Monday, July 6, 1998 A typical Lake Washington teacher, one earning about $43,000 a year, can qualify for a $175,000 home with a 10 percent down payment. However, as of a month ago, just 31 single-family homes priced at $175,000 or less were for sale in the 75-square-mile district. And a rookie teacher makes only about $25,000....

  • Puget Sound's economic growth past its peak: The peak of economic growth is past, at least for this cycle. Seattle Times, Sunday, July 5, 1998; by Stephen H.

The strengths of the region - aerospace, software, biotechnology, communications, foreign trade and others - all are well-positioned to compete into the 21st century.

New buildings dot its corporate campus here. Two more, numbers 40 and 41, are under construction now along 156th Avenue Northeast..... But Microsoft isn't paying a penny of sales tax on Buildings 40 and 41. Four years ago the Legislature exempted high-tech companies from paying sales tax on new research-and-development investments: buildings, machinery, equipment. Since 1995, the state Revenue Department estimates, the exemption has saved Microsoft more than $55 million, other high-tech companies an additional $44 million..."

  • A seamless network urged for Northwest Seattle Times, Friday, Dec. 19, 1997 by Ross Anderson "... What the Northwest needs is a "seamless transportation system," similar to systems in Europe and Japan - an integrated network that allows people and freight to move in separate corridors, with rails separated from highways, linking seaports and airports from Eugene, Ore., to Vancouver, B.C. This idea... was the focus of a brainstorming session yesterday that drew to Seattle dozens of corporate presidents, members of Congress, the outgoing and incoming mayors of Seattle and, via videotape, the chairman of the U.S. House Transportation Committee."
  • Incomes keeping housing affordable despite appreciation Seattle Times, Sunday, July 27, 1997; by Elizabeth Rhodes "Seattle, in fact, ranked 153rd nationally (between San Francisco, with its least affordable rating, and Kokomo, Ind., which took the No. 1 position as most affordable).... How can Seattle be considered so affordable? Because rather than looking solely at housing prices, the NAHB study compared the median price of homes with median household income. ... And thus the Seattle-Bellevue-Everett region, which had a median home-sale price of $159,000 for the first quarter of 1997, was affordable because the median household income was $55,000 - higher than all but a handful of West Coast cities.

    One variant of industrial districts is the hub-and-spoke form, where an industry and its suppliers cluster around one or several core firms. The hub-and-spoke district is distinct from the flexibly specialized district, its successs a function of dominant firm market power and strategy rather than networking. Hub-and-spoke districts may generate high regional growth rates and good income distributions, but may also be vulnerable to cyclical and secular decline.
