AUBURN, Wash. - First shift operations at Boeing's Auburn plant have been suspended Monday after multiple transformers failed at the site over the weekend, triggering an evacuation.
The Boeing Co. ordered all employees out of the Auburn site after the Saturday morning outage, and the plant has been closed ever since.
Only emergency operations personnel remain on the job.
A spokesperson with Boeing said the company was assessing all of its buildings on site and had restored power to some of them over the weekend.
Crews are hoping to restore power to more buildings overnight.
Boeing employees who work in Auburn are advised to call a special hotline - 1-800-899-6431 - for the latest updates on when shifts will start and operations will return to normal.
The Auburn Boeing Plant, opened in 1966, is the largest airplane parts plant in the world with 2.1 million square feet and 265,000 parts being manufactured each year.
With 4,800 employees, the Boeing plant is the third major employer in Auburn.
