  Recognizing the launch of the Redmond Space District in partnership 
   with the City of Redmond and OneRedmond, showcasing the growth of 
                        Redmond's Space Cluster.

Whereas Washington State is a global leader in the space industry;
Whereas Redmond, Washington, has a rich history of contributions to the space 
        industry starting in 1967, when the first space company broke ground on 
        their site in Redmond;
Whereas Redmond is home to a major developer and manufacturer of chemical and 
        electrical propulsion systems that has contributed to numerous NASA 
        missions;
Whereas vital suppliers for the space industry are located in Redmond, as well 
        as data management and analysis suppliers;
Whereas Redmond leverages its strength in information technology, manufacturing, 
        and aerospace to provide an environment for small businesses in this 
        industry to grow;
Whereas, in the last decade, multiple companies have chosen to locate and expand 
        their satellite manufacturing facilities in Redmond;
Whereas Redmond, as a result, is a global satellite manufacturing hub, 
        manufacturing more satellites than any other city in the world;
Whereas, in March 2023, the City of Redmond issued a proclamation designating 
        the Redmond Space District; and
Whereas the Redmond Space District creates an ecosystem of innovation, 
        technology, knowledge, and human capital for the space industry: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes the growing 
space industry in the Redmond Space District.
