Boeing's Everett factory is the world's largest building by interior volume. It is where the Boeing 747, 767, and 777 airliners are made. On the observation deck of the museum, you can watch planes land and take off from the runway, with air traffic control audible on speakers; aircraft are often being tested before delivery to Boeing's customers.
