Cantwell tours Itron, Inc.

Recently, for some reason, Sen. Cantwell and Senator Patty Murray found it necessary to tour the Itron Knowledge Center in Spokane.

Itron, Inc., based in Spokane, but with offices in California, provides facilities for collecting, analyzing, and applying electric, gas, and water usage data. The Itron Knowledge Center occupies a long wall of video screens and graphic representations of arcane procedures, much like a world's fair exhibit.


Perhaps the reason for the tour, besides the HQ in Spokane, is that Itron is going gangbusters on the stock market. Its stock value is more than doubled in the last year.
