The top story
Production problems have pushed the delivery and test flights of the Boeing Co.'s 787 at least six months down the road. Analysts say the delay isn't uncommon in a production plan as huge as building a new aircraft with new materials, but some customers say they aren't happy. Boeing says it hopes to catch up quickly.
The new college
Experts involved in evaluating the location for a branch of the University of Washington in Snohomish County say that local politics and pride won't have a lot to do with the decision. The key issues, they say, are how the school can help students and how it fits into the university system.
The demolition
Preparations have begun for tearing down the Elks Club building in downtown Everett, which has housed the social club for the past 100 years. What was once a key location for community social events and activities will come tumbling down to be replaced by a $30 million high-rise that will have 200 condominiums and apartments geared for downtown living.
The topping off
The Tulalip Tribes has completed the structure of its 12-story luxury hotel adjacent to its casino and outlet mall. In a ceremony Thursday to thank workers and bless the building, tribal officials said studies indicate they may want to build a second hotel tower soon.
The quote
"This project doesn't seem to have any limit."
Port of Everett commissioner Connie Niva, talking about a move to again extend deadlines for a citizens group attemping to raise interest and money in saving what's called the Collins Building, the waterfront home of a former casket company.
The stat
92The number of miles of tension cable used in building the Tulalip Tribes' hotel building.
