OLYMPIA, Wash.- The Association of Washington Business will begin it’s seventh annual manufacturing week bus tour on October 4.
This year’s tour will visit more than 20 manufacturers across the state.
The tour aims to bring attention to the importance of manufacturing to the economy.
“The story of Washington manufacturing is an optimistic one, despite the challenges we have all been through the last few years,” AWB President Kris Johnson said. “We make amazing products in Washington, and we send them all over the world. This tour is a great opportunity to highlight and celebrate Washington’s makers, highlight the great career opportunities that exist in manufacturing and call attention to ways we can help grow manufacturing here.”
On October 6 the tour will visit Tri-Cities and Yakima and will visit Lampson International, Tyson Foods and Rankin Equipment.
