Fun Facts:
—The Everett factory is like a small indoor city, requiring its own fire department, security force, fully equipped medical clinic, electrical substations, and water treatment plant.
—The Everett factory is so big that when it was first built, it created its own weather. Clouds actually formed near the ceiling. The weather cleared when an air-circulation system was installed.
—There are 1 million light bulbs in the factory.
—Twenty-six overhead cranes cruise along a 39-mile network of ceiling tracks throughout the factory, lifting and moving airplane components and sections.
—There are 2.33 miles of pedestrian tunnels running below the factory.
—The mural on the six factory doors is the largest digital graphic in the world, according to Guinness World Records.
—The rail spur running uphill to the factory from Great Northern Railway’s tracks below is the steepest active standard-gauge railroad in the United States.
