EVERETT — Some Machinists union members planned a rally Wednesday afternoon in Everett in favor of voting on Boeing’s last contract offer.

Local union leaders rejected the offer last week because they said it was too similar to one voted down last month. Some members say they want another chance to vote on a contract that would keep production of the new 777X — and jobs — in Washington.

Meanwhile, Boeing has received bids from 22 states for the 777X production. The company says it plans to narrow its options this week to a “handful.”
