Innovation in Washington state helped build airplanes and software, but now it's taking off into new realms to tackle energy, environmental problems and global health.
Technologies to detect cancer and turn waste into energy exemplify the new direction, highlighted Tuesday during the annual Washington Technology Summit in Bellevue.
