Today we toured the Boeing plant. It is a working assembly line and security is very high. We were put on a bus and delivered to the plant. (4) The big buzz was about the new 787 Dreamliner. We actually watched as they attached a wing to the fuselage of the first production plane going to Nippon Airlines.
They have their own airfield so that they can do test flights (3).
20 years ago we visited Seattle and had several hours to fill before our flight back to Jacksonville, so we decided to visit the Crittenden Locks which provide access between Puget Sound and Lake Washington. We revisited the locks and surrounding city park today and watched the Sunday afternoon parade of boats lined up waiting to return to port. The slow process of filling and draining the locks gave us plenty of time to visit the fish ladder (2) and some interesting metal sculpture (1).

1-Looks like someone just smashed the head of the Statue Of Liberty through the concrete.
2-Sorry. I thought this was another sculpture.
3&4-Boeing can call their airplane anything they want but the passengers will still call it a Nightmare.
