Because our trip will soon be coming to an end and we did almost everything that we can now take things a little calmer. After breakfast at the hotel we started our clock at 9.20 to Everett. This is not 10 minutes from our hotel and there is also a part of the Boeing plants. In a 90 minute tour we entered one of the most voluminous building in the world, a hangar in which aircraft are put together. Huge cranes on the ceilings, fuselages, wings in various stages of production. The new Boeing 787, we could admire. In this there should be no more blinds for the windows, but they are electronically dark, in addition, sunlight or simulated night in the cabin and the guests are accorded on the plane to the new climate. Like a car, there is a base price for these aircraft, depending on what the customer selects then as extra equipment will increase the price. In addition, we saw the production lines the 747 and 777 Unfortunately, photos and videos banned during the tour.
the early afternoon we drove to West Seattle. On Alki Beach we enjoyed the weather, so today was again splendid: 18 ° C and sunshine. A stroll along the promenade, we had great views of the Seattle skyline. Surprisingly, it is here on the waterfront, a small version of the Statue of Liberty, which have established the Boy Scouts here.
Next it went to Mercer Iceland. After all, who wants to see how the rich live in Seattle so that is exactly right. Others also lives Bill Gates here, unfortunately we could not make up his property. On our way back we were still randomly over in Redmond. Which one or other of the city is safe to say something: the headquarters of Microsoft located here. But who thinks that this is a large building, has made a mistake. Not only are Microsoft Way adjacent buildings but also in the streets. About 37 buildings of the company were signposted!
17.30 clock we arrived at the Seattle Premium Outlets in Tulalip and spent the rest of the evening to the shops here closed by 21 clock. Dinner we had in Applebee `s. We stay in the same hotel as yesterday.
