Thrilling to see the fuselage rolling by. My dad was a Boeing engineer. My granddad was a Boeing machinist. The grandmother of the woman who lives across the street drove up to Mukilteo every day to work in the Boeing plant. She bought the house across the street; she passed it on her way to work each day and admired its construction. Her granddaughter is a member of the Black Legacy Homeowners Network. I married a Microsoft software engineer.

boeing lost it's way when they moved the suits to Chicago (now Virginia, to be closer to the DC military industrial complex) and moved half their operations to a "right to work" state, etc ... it's all about the stock price now and safety and retention of quality engineers be damned
