Boeing, the Museum of Flight & Seattle's Aviation Heritage

Boeing (The Boeing Company — the largest aerospace and defense company in the world by revenue in most years, founded on July 15, 1916 by William Edward Boeing (1881-1956) in a red barn on the southern shore of Lake Union in Seattle — the company that has dominated commercial aircraft manufacturing for 80 years and that is more responsible than any other single company for the shape of modern air travel): Seattle's relationship with Boeing (the company that employed more than 100,000 people in the Seattle area at its peak, that was the largest private employer in Washington State for most of the 20th century, and that continues to build the 737, 747, 767, and 777 aircraft at its manufacturing facilities in Renton and Everett) is more defining than any other company-city relationship in American industrial history.
