Скачать или смотреть Boeing machinists return to work, boosting local economies in Everett and Renton

After a seven-week strike, Boeing machinists are finally back on the job.

This is not just welcome news for the workers and Boeing but also for the cities that these facilities are in like Everett and Renton.

On Wednesday, we talked with business owners in downtown Renton, who said the strike ending should mean that dollars will once again be spent locally more often.

Debbie Natelson, who owns Liberty Café in downtown Renton, has seen the changes over the decades. She said whenever there’s a strike, it not only affects the workers and the company, but also the local economy.

Data from the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce shows the impact and the dollars being spent.

Between Auburn and Renton, aerospace workers contributed $725 million to the local economies. Between Lynnwood and Everett, it was even more: $1 billion in local spending last year.
