Accurate descriptions of export trends are needed so industry representatives, analysts, policymakers, and business owners can properly assess market conditions. This publication provides data on manufactured and processed agricultural exports from Washington State to foreign markets for industries including aerospace products, petroleum and coal products, navigational instruments, paper products, basic chemicals, other machinery, and fruit and vegetable preserves. The data here can be used to compare export changes over time. This is the ninth edition of an annual series. This volume includes data on both exports and imports. Also included is a section discussing the trend in the exchange rate. Similar to the nation, Washington exports decreased remarkably in 2015, in some cases falling below 2006 levels. Exports decreased in almost every leading export industry. Unlike the nation, imports into Washington increased, led by more imports in the Aerospace Products and Parts industry.
