What interesting plant tours, museums, and shops exist in the
metalworking line in Seattle?

I recall there was a Boeing plant tour; very impressive for scale but
not much resembling a home workshop.

There was a Boeing museum with a few things.

There is the Boeing Museum of Flight "down south" - lots of
airplanes, not much on the manufacturing side.
The Museum of Science and Industry is near the University.
Fascinating in its own way.

Renton Technical College is also a good place to drop in. Tell Dr
Martinez that Carlin and Peter say hi.

Go not to the Net for answers, for it will tell you Yes and no. And
you are a bloody fool, only an ignorant cretin would even ask the
question, forty two, 47, the second door, and how many blonde lawyers
does it take to change a lightbulb.

Paccar has its Kenworth truck plant in Renton (a suburb of Seattle). And
Foss tugs is in Tacoma (a bit of a drive from Seattle). I'm not sure if
either outfit has plant tours. Boeing is the only one that does for sure.

Boeing's main plant is in Everett (a 20 minute drive north of Seattle) and
Boeing's Museum of Flight is in Seattle.
