Exhibit B <br /> October 30, 2013 <br /> Brian Bonlender, Director <br /> Department of Commerce <br /> 1011 Plum Street SE <br /> P.O. Box 45245 <br /> Olympia, WA 98504-2525 <br /> Re: Snohomish County and City of Everett Joint Application for Designations <br /> as Projects of Statewide Significance <br /> Dear Mr. Bonlender: <br /> As the legislative body for the City of Everett project, the Everett City Council <br /> strongly supports the referenced Joint Application that requests Project of <br /> Statewide Significance for both the Paine Field Aerospace Business Park project <br /> and the 777X SEPA Addendum project on Boeing-Everett campus. <br /> Each of these two projects is designed to accommodate development <br /> requirements to support large aerospace manufacturing that would potentially <br /> result in creation of substantial aerospace jobs across the entire state of <br /> Washington. In fact, the projects have been created specifically, at the <br /> Governor's request, to make Washington more competitive in growing aerospace <br /> statewide. <br /> Both project sites offer unique and immediate private road driving access to the <br /> Boeing-Everett manufacturing campus. In addition to having uniquely located <br /> sites available to meet large aerospace manufacturing needs, it is also critical that <br /> those sites offer predictable and timely development permits. <br />
