I felt it fitting after last weeks line move to formally introduce you to the world's largest building (by volume). Boeing's Everett factory is responsible for final assembly of the company's widebody aircraft.
The shear size of the building is staggering. If you're ever in the Pacific Northwest, the Everett plant tour should be on your to-see list. You'll get a chance to peek inside the 747, 777 and 787 lines from the observation decks.
Boeing opened its Everett facility at Snohomish County Airport (Paine Field) in the 1960s to support the fledgling 747-100. These days, the factory churns out about seven 777s and a 767 & a 747 a month. One day, Boeing hopes to have 787s leaving final assembly at a rate of 10 a month.
