Build Your Career in a Global Innovation Hub
Seattle and the Puget Sound region are home to a thriving economy and concentration of global companies. Industries like technology, aerospace, healthcare, defense, finance, and manufacturing make this region one of the nation’s most dynamic business hubs. Aerospace alone is a $71 billion industry, supporting 250,000+ jobs and offering extensive opportunities for veterans.
With six major military installations, 100,000+ active-duty personnel, and 525,000+ veterans and retirees, the region offers one of the country’s strongest ecosystems for service members transitioning into business careers.
