A selective look at companies building across the Seattle metro, including Bellevue, Redmond and Kent. The focus is the work taking shape now and why it matters.
Fully and rapidly reusable launch vehicles for reliable transportation to, through, and from space.

Laser weeders and tractor autonomy that help farmers control weeds and operate existing equipment.
Its new Great Plains partnership moves autonomy beyond weeding: tractors can adjust implements themselves, keeping fieldwork moving when skilled operators are scarce.
