  • The world has shrunk, and in no small measure because of Boeing. The company helped early Seattle by firing up its economic engine, shaping its politics and laying the foundation for a strong middle class.

  • The city is on the move, getting bigger, building up and reaching out. The emergence of a new generation of white-collar workers has changed the socioeconomic landscape of Seattle. Its resource-extraction and manufacturing past is being overshadowed by the work of the so-called creative class in science and technology.<br />
