Boeing is the world's largest aerospace company and leading manufacturer of commercial jetliners and defense, space and security systems.
This Boeing manufacturing site first found a home on the marshy shores of Lake Washington in 1941. Originally it built 1,119 B-29 Flying Fortresses for World War II.
This Renton plant has been home to many of commercial aviation's most renowned airplanes, including the 707, 727, 737 and 757. Today, employees at the 278-acre site, which encompasses 4.3 million square feet (380,902 square meters) of building space, produce the newest generation of 737 airplanes.
This plant includes 737 wing assembly and paint hangars in addition to final assembly lines. Before each airplane makes its initial test flight, Boeing performs pre-flight tests on all 737s at the Renton Municipal Airport, located west of the main site. Following its successful test flight, the airplane lands at nearby Boeing Field in Seattle where final preparations are made.
