More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the air-conditioned minivan and straight into a world of rivets, riveted frames, and hum: the Everett production line stretches out like an industrial runway. Through the glass of the Strato Deck, aluminum skins and composite fuselages are hushed into shape while the Sound of Puget Sound and distant peaks keep watch. The sky here pushes you to look up — enormous wings, the slow choreography of cranes, the steady progress of a jet taking form.
