I had gone to portland OR for work last week and took a little trip up to seattle / everett washington.
Below is are pics of seattle, the puget sound, Mt st. helens, and my favorite part the Boeing factory.
I couldnt take pics in the factory on the tour though, i was able to see many pieces of history however... Like the 747 Dream Lifter come in for a landing and unload a tail section for a new 787. These planes were built to haul modular parts for the new 787 specifically. Also got to see the first 787 built and serial #s 3,4,and 5. Also got to see the last 747-400 to be built, the 747-8 will replace it.
The building is the largest in the world by volume and its also houses all 767 and 777 production. The goal by the end of the year is to be able to produce 3 complete 787's per day. Since they have a backorder of 800 of these new planes. The 737 factory is just south of seattle and they currently pump out 3 per week.
