I was referencing the fact that almost none of Boeing is in the city of Seattle, so compare the business climate of Seattle to the surrounding areas is disingenuous. I like on how in your reply you started using the the term “Seattle Area”.
In the end the point being is like so many posts on here it was political when it didn’t need to be. But that’s where we are at anymore.
No, now you are not only showing your ignorance, but you are lying, or at the very least quibbling and misrepresenting my comments.
I referred to friends “commuting in Seattle traffic.” You stated that Boeing footprint in Seattle was “almost none.” So not only were you demonstrably wrong, you are now lying rather than manning up and admitting you were wrong. Since you are apparently abysmally ignorant about Seattle, let me give you some help. The three main Boeing facilities which have considerably more than “almost none” footprint in Seattle are the original plant on the Duwamish River at Boeing Field which, yes, is within the city limits of Seattle. The Renton plant - in operation since building B-17s in WWII, is close enough that they have overlapping control zones. The Everett plant - about 20 miles north - was built when the lack room to expand at Renton And BFI precluded further construction there, but with Seattle bounded on the west by Puget Sound and on the East by Lake Washington, I can assure you the Boeing traffic jam at rush “hour” (which is from about 1430 to 1830) incorporates that entire swath.

Now I was commenting on two things; working from home and a traffic problem born of two main factors, the geographical location of Seattle in a corridor that limits East-West expansion and the rather large workforce of the principal private employer in the region and in the state.
You “guessing” that I was referring to other factors seems a creature of your own invention, and your repeated statements that “almost none of Boeing is in the city of Seattle” belies the existence of a rather large Boeing facility - essentially everything on KBFI west of the long runway except for one aviation museum.
It seems like it’s you, not me, that have politicized this and it’s certainly you that are factually wrong in this case - and simply not honorable enough to admit your error.
