About Bellevue

The name "Bellevue" is French for "beautiful view." The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) is an American multinational corporation that designs, manufactures, and sells airplanes, rotorcraft, rockets and satellites worldwide. The company also provides leasing and product support services. Boeing stock is a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The company was formed by William E. Boeing in 1916 from the assets of its predecessor firm founded in 1902 by William Boeing; it adopted its current name in 1982 after a merger with McDonnell Douglas which brought more than half-century years of aircraft manufacturing experience to the new organization as well as access to much larger capital resources needed for future growth; however most production remained on the Seattle area until 2001 when assembly lines were moved out due to lack of space at corporate headquarters located near Seattle's largest airport SeaTac Airport (now known as Seattle–Tacoma International Airport).
