Crane Aerospace expands in Lynnwood

Crane Aerospace &Electronics has announced plans to build a 12,000-square-foot facility in Lynnwood designed to test and manufacture mass fuel flow transmitters. The expansion will support 60 jobs, of which about 20 will be new. Construction is expected to begin this summer.

“We anticipate doubling our production volume of fuel flow transmitters over the next five years,” said Brendan Curran, Crane’s president, in a press release. “The new facility will provide us with the capabilities and capacity to meet our customers’ demand as they introduce the new generation of engines. Crane’s continued commitment to the growth of the Lynnwood campus is a direct result of the outstanding performance, quality and dedication of the 780 employees at the site.”

The new facility will permit testing at fuel temperatures up to 325-degrees Fahrenheit and at the operating pressures of new engines.

Tenure was granted to math instructor Andrea Cahan, engineering instructor Joseph Graber, nursing instructor Gail McLean, engineering instructor Matt Parsons and math instructor Michael Story. The instructors completed a three-year process that included significant observation, assessment and feedback. Each instructor was highly recommended by their tenure committee.
