Скачать или смотреть Commercial film production in Seattle and Washington state could be impacted as tariff talk heats up

If, for whatever reason, the dynamics in the film industry change, Seattle and Washington state leaders suggest they are ready for their close-up.

On Monday, President Donald Trump suggested in a social media post that he would impose a 100% tariff on foreign-made films. In a region that often sees Vancouver, British Columbia, double for Seattle, no one was quite ready to suggest what it could mean for business.

“We're very lucky in Seattle to have one of, if not the, best permit coordination processes in the country,” said Seattle Film Commission program manager Chris Swenson.

He’s been around long enough to see the pendulum swing. Western Washington was a hotbed for filmmaking in the 80s and 90s, spawning hits like “Sleepless in Seattle”, “10 Things I Hate About You”, “Singles”, and “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle”.
