Boeing's Renton Factory produces every 737 aircraft ever built — more than 11,000 to date, making the 737 the best-selling commercial jetliner in history. The plant produces about 30+ aircraft per month (pre-737 MAX grounding) and has been the continuous home of the 737 since 1967. The factory is also the Seattle Seahawks' neighbor — the team's VMAC training facility is immediately adjacent to the Boeing plant on Lake Washington.

Yes, increasingly. Renton has benefited from the Seattle-Eastside tech boom. The Landing and Southport developments target tech workers, and Renton's lower home prices compared to Bellevue or Kirkland make it a practical option. Microsoft Redmond is about 20 minutes northeast; Amazon Seattle is about 20 minutes north. Many tech workers commute from Renton.
