Janicki Aerospace FLEES WA — Democrat Policies Hand MT/ID The Jobs

Washington State just lost another manufacturer. Janicki Industries — one of the Pacific Northwest's premier aerospace fabricators — has chosen Montana and Idaho over Washington, citing the state's hostile regulatory and tax climate. It's not a surprise. It's a pattern.Sean breaks down why Janicki's decision is the predictable result of Olympia's decade-long war on productive industry. High labor costs, aggressive environmental mandates, an unpredictable capital-gains tax regime, and a Democrat supermajority that treats manufacturing as an afterthought have made Washington one of the hardest places in the West to run a factory. Montana and Idaho didn't poach Janicki. Olympia handed them over.The downstream math is brutal. Aerospace supply-chain jobs multiply — every skilled fabrication position supports several more in logistics, tooling, and engineering services. Those wages, that tax base, those careers are now leaving with the company. Boeing's slow-motion Seattle exodus proved the template. Janicki is just the latest chapter in a story WA Democrats refuse to read.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of the stories Pacific Northwest media won't touch.
