At the heart of these stories are relationships . Boeing ’ s long history in the Pacific Northwest is built upon our relationships with the regional supply chain . We wouldn ’ t have achieved the success we see today without our suppliers .
This goes beyond contracts and numbers . It ’ s about supporting and being part of the community .
