Was the Boeing tour worth it?
Well,
it all depends on your perspective and considering this was my
companions get away, it was worth seeing him enjoy this adventure. It also provides fodder for future conversations on our enjoyable experiences.
Seeing airplanes in the process of assembly is cool.

The sheer size of the building is mind boggling boasting of a million light bulbs and a staggering power bill. The 21
stairs and a long brisk walk through two tunnels to the freight
elevator left me breathless but with the satisfaction that I had more
than gotten my exercise for the day. (over a mile and half, not counting
stairs on the ferry.)

Riding back was kind of fun knowing that we had just gone over Boeing's only privately owned bridge on the highway in the country and we had a close up massive view of the assembly of planes inside the world's largest building by volume.

The largest mural in the world on the hanger doors were worth looking at.
The "No cell phones, cameras, or purses etc." left me feeling naked. It is unbelievable that we can become so attached to those things.
