Seattle Excursion Question: Boeing Plant

[lesharona]

We are looking over the exursions for our upcoming Pacific Coastal cruise,

some of us are leaning toward doing the tour of the Boeing Plant.

My question is I am wondering if it is alot of walking? My Mom has limited

mobility and uses a walker. And I want to know ahead of time if it would

be too tiring for her. If so we may split the group up, and do 2 different

excursions.

Thanks

Sharon
