World famous aircraft plant looks set for demolition.
Boeing is set to demolish its historic Plant 2 facility near Boeing Field, famous for being so vital to the World War II manufacturing effort that to foil possible enemy bombing raids the roof was camouflaged with life-size fake trees, houses and streets.
Boeing spokesman Chris Villiers said a demolition schedule has not been finalised. But the company has told the Museum of Flight it must remove several old aircraft stored inside the plant within the next four months.
After demolition, Boeing plans to clean up the heavily polluted factory site, which backs onto the Duwamish Waterway.
