Washington Kills 120 Tacoma Jobs As Georgia-Pacific Moves $325M Plant To Texas

Georgia-Pacific is closing its gypsum board plant at 1240 Alexander Avenue in Tacoma, laying off all 120 employees by October 30th. The company blames declining home sales and a collapsing repair-and-remodel market since 2022 — but the mainstream media is giving you half the story.The half they won't tell you: Georgia-Pacific simultaneously opened a brand-new $325 million, 700,000-square-foot gypsum board facility in Sweetwater, Texas. That is not a market retreat — that is a strategic relocation away from Washington state. When you stack Olympia's tax burden against what Texas offers, the math writes itself.This closure is part of a broader Pacific Northwest economic chill. Amazon, T-Mobile, and the architecture and tech sectors are all shedding headcount. Washington's answer — millionaire taxes, Jumpstart taxes, punishing gas levies — treats business as a revenue extraction target rather than a partner worth keeping. Tacoma's 120 lost jobs are the bill coming due.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell — we connect the dots the mainstream media won't touch.#NFRP #Tacoma #GeorgiaPacificGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS 🌟https://ReasonableTV.com/🛍️ MERCH - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/💬 JOIN our FREE Discord Community!
