The collection runs from a 1916 Boeing floatplane through Concorde, the first jet Air Force One, an SR-71 Blackbird, a full Space Shuttle trainer and a 787 Dreamliner. The original 1909 Boeing 'Red Barn' factory building is part of the museum.
It is properly big — two and a half hours is a fair minimum and aviation people will want four. Entirely indoors, which makes it a strong November-to-March choice.
What our drivers would tell you
- This is the indoor alternative to the Everett factory tour, and it is far closer to downtown and the piers.
- On a cruise day it works: it is on the way to Sea-Tac, not away from it.
