North America's Gateway to Asia

摘要

Geography puts the Pacific Northwest squarely in the Pacific Rim, resources and attitude makes it a gateway for Asian and North American markets. The Pacific Northwest is a strategically essential region for companies that want to establish operations in the United States and Canada and have a presence in the Pacific Rim. With dozens of ports (including more than 70 in the state of Washington alone), companies have easy access to markets in Asia, making the region well-suited for distribution centers and warehouse operations. The manufacturing sector in the Pacific Northwest is headed by communication technology, including Microsoft, and aviation, including Boeing. Numerous suppliers in both sectors have operations in the region. There is also growth in the clean energy and health sciences industries. Companies that consider an expansion or relocation project in the Pacific Northwest will find a highly-trained and dedicated workforce.
