Seattle wonders as Boeing eyes South

SEATTLE - The possibility of a second Boeing assembly site for the 787 outside Washington has spread concern in the state's aerospace industry. Boeing is looking at sites in Washington and South Carolina to house a new final assembly plant for its 787 because the aircraft is two years behind schedule. Industry observers say the company is also looking at sites in Texas and elsewhere in the South. (Source: Wall Street Journal, 08/11/09)
