Everett Factory Expansion Supports Boeing Production Growth
Boeing is ramping up hiring for a new 737 MAX production line in Everett, Washington, as part of its efforts to increase output and replace retirees. The company is adding around 100 to 140 factory workers each week, with the new North Line set to open in midsummer 2026. This expansion marks the first time Boeing will build 737s in Everett, rather than exclusively in Renton, Washington. The move is part of a broader push to raise 737 MAX production over the next several years, following years of disruption tied to the MAX’s fatal crashes and manufacturing issues. According to AeroTime, Boeing’s unionized factory workforce in the Pacific Northwest now tops 34,000 and is still growing.
