Are there Lockheed Martin jobs in Washington state? (2026)
Yes, but Lockheed Martin's Washington state presence is small compared to its major hubs in Texas, Colorado, California, and Florida.
LM facilities in Washington
| Location | Division | Focus | Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bothell, WA | RMS | Undersea systems, sonar | Small (~200-400) |
| Remote | Various | IT, software, program management | Varies |
The Bothell facility primarily supports Rotary & Mission Systems (RMS) undersea and naval programs. It's not a major engineering hub.
Why Washington is limited for LM
Lockheed Martin's major facilities are located near their biggest customers and programs:
| Major Hub | Employees | Key Programs |
|---|---|---|
| Fort Worth, TX | ~16,000 | F-35 |
| Denver/Littleton, CO | ~10,000 | GPS III, Orion, satellites |
| Sunnyvale, CA | ~5,000 | Space, classified programs |
| Orlando, FL | ~8,000 | Missiles & Fire Control |
| Bethesda, MD | ~3,000 | Corporate HQ |
| Marietta, GA | ~5,000 | C-130, F-35 sustainment |
Washington state doesn't have a major LM program anchor. Boeing and Blue Origin are the dominant aerospace employers in the Seattle-Tacoma area.
