As Matt Baume mentioned in Slog AM, this weekend King County Executive Dow Constantine announced the opening of a new film production facility at the former Fisher Flour Mill on Harbor Island. This move is a step forward for the state to compete with well-funded regional film production competitors, like Vancouver (B.C.) and Portland, which often serve as stand-ins for the Emerald City. This is an exciting opportunity for us to recapture some of that film business and the many jobs that have depended on [it] over the years, Constantine said in a Twitter video.
