Thank you Bill Boeing!

William Boeing founded his aircraft manufacturing business in Seattle 100yrs ago. Even though they outsourced much of the 787 and moved the headquarters to Chicago I am proud to have their legacy represented in our great city! Let’s celebrate their contribution to the history of the United States as well. They opened plant 1 on the Duwamish to build seaplanes for WW I, built the plane that carried the 1st airmail, built the 1st sole intention passenger airplane, built the 1st pressurized-cabin passenger transport, built up to 350 B-17 & B-29 bombers per month during WW II, and ushered in the jet age with the incredibly successful 707. Even though Boeing is slowly pulling jobs from our region they still play an oversized role in our economy. I see a bright future with the 737 MAX, 777 X and the amazing 787. I have several friends who work for Boeing that earn living wages and can count on funded retirements. Go Boeing!
