The Pacific Northwest's Space Industry Played a Key Role in the Genesis of Space Exploration and into the 21st Century.

Space Northwest Aims to Keep it That Way.

The future of humanity points to space – to open new frontiers, preserve our fragile planet, and bring us together. From the early days of the Apollo program to the achievements of innovators such as Blue Origin and SpaceX, space has inspired young professionals in the Pacific Northwest to pursue STEM careers and created technologies that we rely upon every day. 

Space Northwest seeks to build upon the rich legacy of the Pacific Northwest’s more than 60-year space economy through innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship and build bridges to innovative careers for all. 

We seek to strengthen and grow the Pacific Northwest’s established and developing space communities and attract new space interests. Through coordinated efforts with key stakeholders, we will advance a set of 12 strategic objectives that cover entrepreneurship, workforce development, marketing, and public relations, academic and corporate partnerships, and diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA).
​
Initially, Space Northwest activities will be conducted across Washington state, later expanding into the three contiguous states and one non-contiguous state in the region making up the Pacific Northwest: Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and Alaska, respectively. From inception, our various programs will focus on local, state, and regional communities. Over time, we will establish both national and global reach with our messaging and engagement. 

WA state’s space ecosystem is viewed globally as a growing and evolving commercial space economy positioned for accelerated growth over near-and-longer terms. Washington’s space community enjoys a strong and engaged multi-sector system made up of large, medium, and small established OEMs; start-ups; suppliers; higher education; research facilities; training facilities and more.
