WORTH A DETOUR
FUTURE OF FLIGHT AVIATION CENTER & BOEING TOUR
One of the Seattle area's most worthwhile outlying sights is the
Future of Flight
Aviation Center & Boeing Tour
( 1-800-464-1476;
www.futureofflight.org
;
8415 Paine Field
Blvd; adult/child $18/12; 8:30am-5:30pm)
in the city of Everett, 25 miles north of
Seattle. Serving as a good complement to Georgetown's Museum of Flight, the
Center, aside from its museum, offers something different: a tour of the real
working Boeing factory where the famous airplanes are made. The huge complex
is actually the world's most voluminous building, meaning the 90-minute tours
involve plenty of traveling around, some of it by bus. Getting to the center without
a car can be a pain, but you can save time by partaking in an organized tour with
town hotels. It charges $65/49 per adult/child, including admission. No cameras
are allowed.
