Thursday, 24 May 2018 – Boeing Factory Tour

Paine Field and the Everett Boeing Plant

We had read about the Boeing Factory Tour that is part of the Boeing Future of Flight Museum. This morning we headed to Muilteo (near Everett) to check it out. We got there about 1115 and were able to join the 1130 factory tour. The tour was really great with great observation of the assembly line for 747’s, 767’s, and more. Really cool. After the tour we ran down the road to eat at the Mukilteo Raceway Cafe. The food was really good and soon we returned to see the museum. The first thing we checked out is their observation deck on top. The deck provides great views of the nearby runway and when the big airliners take off or land you have a really up close view. The seating is really comfortable on the deck and we really enjoyed hanging out a bit. After the deck we checked out the museum gallery. What a lame “museum”. The gallery did have a replicate International Space Station Discovery Module, a GE90 jet engine, but not much else. I would still recommend seeing the tour and experiencing the observation deck. They make it worth the money. Just don’t expect much from the actual museum.
