[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vincent206: [QB] Years ago, when I took the Boeing factory tour, we were told that the tour used to allow visitors to walk on the factory floor and get an up-close look at the manufacturing line. But Boeing found that some of the visitors were actually industrial spies who were collecting metal samples on the soles of their crepe shoes and sending the shards back to their motherlands for analysis. One warning about taking light rail to the airport. The first train in the morning from downtown doesn't arrive at the airport until 544am, which may be too late for early departures. There are earlier trains that depart from the Stadium Station (one stop south of the International District/Chinatown/Amtrak Station), but you would have to find your own way to Stadium Station. The ultimate and very rare highlight of any ferry trip is an Orca pod sighting. When the whales are spotted swimming anywhere near the ferry's path the boat will either stop or deviate from its route. The captain will also notify the passengers that there is a pod swimming somewhere nearby. [/QB][/QUOTE]
