YAKIMA, Wash.-- GE Aviation has told employees they're looking into the possibility of selling the Yakima facility.

In a statement released Monday, GE says they believe that a portion of the business would be a better fit for an outside company.

Nothing has been finalized yet, but GE says the move would be positive for the Yakima site.
