I live in Northern Virginia about 25 miles from the Pentagon as the crow flies, and I have never heard about the existence of any telephone manufacturing plant here, or any Western Electric plant at all for that matter.

Do your research. It was located where the Costco is located now. The Western Electric plant was there 50 years ago before the subway was built. I'm not going to do your homework for you. The world doesn't revolve around what you've heard about.

From Wikipedia Pentagon City

Pentagon City was founded in 1946, when developers Morris Cafritz and Charles H. Tompkins acquired a 190-acre site of empty fields and commercial warehouses for $1.5 million.[2][3] A Western Electric telephone manufacturing facility opened in the 1950s and was later converted into a small shopping mall known as "Pentagon Centre." In the 1960s, high-rise apartment buildings were erected on Hayes, Fern, and Joyce Streets.
