As someone who grew up in the Seattle area, this made me sad.

They are referring to AirBus with that sentence, although I initially parsed it wrong as well.

Boeing's primary assembly is in the Seattle area.

Boeing moved their headquarters from the Seattle area to Chicago in 2001 for various reasons: https://www.nytimes.com/2001/05/11/business/chicago-offering...

Reminiscent of Amazon's HQ2 efforts.
