Washington State has a significant asbestos exposure legacy driven by its shipbuilding industry, military installations, and the Hanford nuclear site. The Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton is one of the largest naval shipyards in the world and has been a major source of asbestos exposure for generations of workers who built and maintained warships. The Kaiser Shipyards in Vancouver (across the river from Portland, Oregon) employed tens of thousands of workers during World War II. The Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle and Tacoma also exposed maritime workers to asbestos materials. The Hanford Site in southeastern Washington, which produced plutonium for nuclear weapons from 1943 through the late 1980s, used asbestos throughout its massive industrial facilities and is now the most contaminated nuclear site in the Western Hemisphere. Boeing's aircraft manufacturing operations in Seattle, Everett, and Renton used asbestos in aircraft components and factory insulation. Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Naval Station Everett, and other military installations contained asbestos. The Weyerhaeuser and other timber industry operations used asbestos in mill equipment insulation. The aluminum smelters in the Columbia Basin, including the former Alcoa plant in Vancouver, also used asbestos products. Washington provides a three-year statute of limitations from discovery for both personal injury and wrongful death claims.
