Jim’s Accessibility Comments:

As much as I dislike Boeing and its discrimination against wheelchair travelers, the Museum of Flight is a lot of fun, especially if you enjoy history and aviation, and it’s reasonably wheelchair accessible. Although a few exhibits are not wheelchair accessible (without climbing stairs into old aircraft), the museum is largely accessible and is one of Seattle’s most popular attractions. There is plenty of wheelchair accessible parking, a reasonably easy ramp to the entrance, and wheelchair accessible restrooms.

As you read and watch the history of Boeing, and the ruthless greed for money of its management and their self promotion, it becomes clear why Boeing disregards disabled travelers. A pitiful story of creed overtaking exploration  – but a fascinating museum.
