Boeing and Seattle Aviation Landmarks, Events and History Illustrated Map Poster
Boeing and Seattle Aviation Landmarks, Events and History Illustrated Map Poster
This “Boeing and Seattle Aviation Landmarks, Events and History” poster map grew out of aviation artist Chris Bidlack’s own need to untangle Seattle’s aviation geography—how Boeing Field and historic Plant 2 sit relative to Renton, where the Everett widebody plant anchors the north, and how all of it fits around Puget Sound. The result is a clear, richly illustrated poster map that turns that mental puzzle into something you can see and trace with your finger.
Across the central map, you’ll find not only Boeing locations but also notable airfields, seaplane bases, and the sites of other aviation and aerospace companies that helped shape the region’s story. The layout rewards close, unhurried viewing, with dozens of carefully researched callouts marking milestones, facilities, and overlooked corners of Seattle’s flight history.
Framing the map, the side panels add even more depth: a visual Boeing corporate‑structure timeline, jetliner production figures, and aircraft production summaries for the company’s major historic plants—from early days on the Duwamish to the jet age at Renton and Everett. Together, they turn the poster into both a reference piece and a conversation starter.
Printed at 14" wide by 20" tall on heavyweight, acid‑free poster stock, this map is designed to frame beautifully in an office, den, hangar, or classroom. It arrives carefully packaged in a sturdy mailing tube, ready for you to unroll and frame, and the watermarks shown in online previews are not printed on the actual poster—ideal for Boeing employees past and present, Seattle visitors, aviation historians, and anyone who wants a visual guide to where the Northwest’s aviation story really happened.
