Janicki Industries praises Sedro-Woolley permitting and local workforce as company grows into aerospace firm

A representative of Janicki Industries described the company’s local roots and credited Sedro-Woolley’s permitting practices for supporting the firm’s growth into aerospace.
Commenter 4, who identified a family history in the area, said, “Janicki Industries started, 1993, but we're lifelong residents of Sedro-Woolley. My grandfather homesteaded in this area, and my father was, you know, born and raised in this area.” He described a business history that included logging and construction and said the company has “developed into a major aerospace company since that time.”
On the business climate, Commenter 4 told listeners the reason the company located projects in Sedro-Woolley was that “we found when we were permitting our projects, we could trust what they were saying. And that goes a long ways in a real estate developer builder relationship.” He emphasized trust in the jurisdiction and said that reliability makes the city “a good place to do business.”
