Boeing Factory Tour

Best. Factory. Tour. Ever.

(and I've been to a fair share of factory tours!)

This afternoon, we took my parents to the Boeing Factory Tour & Future Flight of Aviation Center. Yep, it's the factory where Boeing makes their planes. It's excessively cool. Bonus: It's only about a 30 minute drive from our home in Bellevue.

Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take any photos from within the Factory. You'll just have to trust me that it's crazy cool to see the assembly line of sorts that make an airplane. Actually, we were surprised to learn that about 99% of the building of the planes is done by manual assembly.

The Future Flight of Aviation Center is a museum of sorts that has some nice exhibits of planes, history and parts. Worthwhile to check out while you're at the tour of the factory.
