Boeing announces moving engineering work out of Seattle area

Boeing announced Friday a significant shift of both current and future engineering work out of Puget Sound, to Southern California and South Carolina.

The company also said it is exploring opening a new engineering design center in Kiev, Ukraine, to add to the one it already has in Moscow, Russia.

The most significant immediate impact locally comes from the decision to move engineering support for airlines that fly out-of-production airplanes — such as older 737 classics and 757s — from Tukwila to Long Beach, Calif., within six to nine months.

Following in the footsteps of their simulator training facilities which are also in the process of being relocated to a place that is less prone to earthquakes. Now, they will be in a hurricane zone in Miami.
