Seagen to build man­u­fac­tur­ing site from ground up near Wash­ing­ton home

As Seagen comes off a huge win in court that land­ed it near­ly $42 mil­lion in pay­ments for patent in­fringe­ment, it’s mak­ing plans to build a mas­sive man­u­fac­tur­ing site north of its head­quar­ters to boost ca­pac­i­ty.

The new 270,000-square-foot site will be built in Everett, WA, and is ex­pect­ed to be ful­ly op­er­a­tional, with up to 200 high-skilled work­ers, by 2024. Bi­o­log­ics will be the fo­cus of pro­duc­tion when it opens, and the site will be ful­ly in­te­grat­ed for both clin­i­cal and com­mer­cial use.
