The Future of Flight Aviation Center and Boeing Tour

Pacific Coast Marine Industries

Places We Visited

Naval Station Everett

Simply put, Naval Station Everett is the United States Navy's most modern facility. Unfortunately, the only day available for us to board and tour a vessel was on Thursday, the day reunion attendees were scheduled to begin arriving; therefore, the on-board tour consideration had to be cancelled. We did, however, visit Smokey Point Naval Exchange.

The Future of Flight Aviation Center and Boeing Tour

We explored interactive exhibits and displays set in a 28,000-square-foot aviation center gallery; we then went behind the scenes on a 90-minute tour of the Boeing company's Everett giant plant where we were able to watch 747s, 777s and 787s being assembled. Then came a treat:  the airlifting of Boeing's Dreamlifter, the Dreamliner carrier.

Pacific Coast Marine Industries

Pacific Coast Marine is the world's largest supplier of high quality marine doors, windows and hatches. Applications include megayachts, cruise ships, ocean tugs, ocean crew boats, offshore oil platforms, military vessels, fast ferries, and merchant ships.

Flying Heritage Collection

We visited the private collection of rare military aircraft owned by Paul Allen, restored to a level of authenticity never attempted before that vividly depicted technical renaissance that took place between 1935 and 1945, all of which that is set amidst a restored working hangar.
