By KOMO

EVERETT, Washington (KOMO) Kimberly Clark Plant is soon closing its doors.

Hundreds of jobs will be affected.

KOMO reports U-S plants are having a hard time competing against countries such as Brazil.

With so much publicity and concern, it led to major decisions.

One of the mill's largest customers is Costco who buys toilet paper and napkins. In April, Costco will reportedly switch to Georgia Pacific.

Some workers talked about taking salary reductions. Everett officials say they will fight to save the plant.
