Boeing Factory Tour

The Boeing Company

PO Box 3707

Seattle, WA 98124

800-464-1476

Boeing gives tours of their factory.  The actual construction of airplanes is very impressive.  A must-see for those interested in aviation technology.  No cameras are permitted on the factory tour.  There is a small museum which is the waiting area for the tour.

 

This is interesting technology, but Boeing is not (intentionally) a non-profit organization.

Mt. St. Helens rose from obscurity when it erupted, spewing ash over much of Washington.  The park brings the forces of nature into scale.  The breadth of devastation is still visible.
