Tideflats Robotics Founder Launches Second Startup

The announcement is the latest sign of momentum for Tacoma's business community, which has drawn growing attention from investors across the Pacific Northwest.

"We've put a lot of work into getting this right, and people are already noticing the difference," said Andrew Torres, managing partner in Tacoma.

The company now employs roughly 52 people across its Washington operations, with plans to keep hiring if growth holds through next year. Leadership says Tacoma's talent pipeline was a deciding factor in choosing to expand locally rather than out of state.

"This is exactly the kind of progress our community deserves." — Andrew Torres

Company leadership says an update on hiring and expansion plans is expected before the end of the year.
