Seattle Asbestos Facts

  • The state of Washington had 9,200 deaths related to asbestos exposure from 1999 to 2017.
  • Seattle and King County led the state in asbestos deaths in that period, with 1,891.
  • Shipbuilding and aircraft manufacturing have long been major industries in Seattle, but they also used asbestos and caused worker exposure.

Seattle Shipyards

As an important port city on the west coast, Seattle has a long history of shipbuilding and repair. The shipyard industry has employed thousands of residents and put many at risk of asbestos exposure.

  • Established in the early 1940s, the Duwamish Shipyard became one of the largest shipyards in Seattle. Workers here handled asbestos as it went into nearly every part of every ship, including in the steam pipes, steam drums, heaters, engine rooms, building materials, and insulation.
  • The Todd Pacific Shipyards Seattle Division was formed in 1916 as a dry dock construction and shipbuilding company. It provided many jobs to Seattle residents, but it also caused asbestos exposure.
  • Lockheed Shipyard was another Seattle ship construction company with a history of heavy asbestos use. From the 1930s until the mid-1980s, thousands of workers were exposed to asbestos in equipment, machinery, pipes, tools, and more.

Aircraft Manufacturing

Seattle is also a major aircraft manufacturing city. The Boeing Company, now headquartered in Chicago, was founded in Seattle in 1916 and still has a significant presence near the city.

The company’s Commercial Airplanes division is headquartered in nearby Reston, where a large factory builds airliners such as the 777 Dreamliner. Boeing is a major supplier of aircraft for the U.S. military.

From World War I to the present, the company has built combat and support aircraft of all types for the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps.

As in the shipbuilding industry, the use of asbestos by Boeing and other aerospace manufacturers is now minimal.

At one time, Boeing used asbestos in many of its parts and materials.

Until 1981, many military and civilian aircraft made in the U.S. used asbestos in engine insulation, wiring, adhesives, electrical insulation, and brake pads.

Factory workers and maintenance personnel who built or repaired planes built before 1981 are at high-risk for asbestos exposure.

As Seattle grew, many industrial job sites cropped up and used asbestos for decades. Construction of buildings also used asbestos, and many buildings still contain asbestos materials.
