The Board of Directors
Pacific Aerospace & Electronics, Inc.:

We consent to the incorporation by reference in the registration statements on
Form S-3 (Nos. 333-58148, 333-56884, 333-44686 and 333-35382) on Form S-8 (Nos.

on Form SB-2 (No. 333-05011) of Pacific Aerospace & Electronics, Inc. of our
report dated August 23, 2002, with respect to the consolidated balance sheets of
Pacific Aerospace & Electronics, Inc. as of May 31, 2001 and 2002, and the
related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss),
stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended May 31, 2002, which report appears in the May 31, 2002,
annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, of Pacific Aerospace & Electronics, Inc.

Our report dated August 23, 2002, refers to a change in the method of accounting
for goodwill and other intangible assets in the year ended May 31, 2002 and also
contains an explanatory paragraph that states that Pacific Aerospace &
Electronics, Inc. has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net
capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.
