EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — Boeing broke ground Monday in Everett for a new delivery center for its widebody planes in Everett.
The company says it will enhance the experience for customers taking off in new 747s, 767s, 777s and 787s.
The center has three times the office and conference space than the center it replaces, which opened in the late 1960s and has delivered about 3,500 planes.
The manager of aircraft delivery for Lufthansa, Matthias Baschant, joined Boeing officials for the ceremonial groundbreaking, which was held under umbrellas in a downpour.
The new center should open early next year.
