== History ==
In 1928, King County voters overwhelmingly approved a $950,000 plan for construction of the region’s first municipal airport. Originally named in honor of Boeing Company founder William E. Boeing (October 1, 1881 – September 28, 1956), the airport helped support the early growth of the Boeing Company. Throughout the 1930s, it served as a regional center for the burgeoning industries of commercial and recreational aviation. On December 6, 1941, just one day before the attack on Pearl Harbor, the airport was closed to the public and taken over by the federal government because of its strategic location and its importance as a Boeing production center. During World War II, the airport was devoted to the production of thousands of B-17 and B-29 bombers, which played key roles in the Allied war effort. After the war, Boeing Field reopened for civilian use and served as the area's primary passenger airport until the opening of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in 1944. Today, King County International Airport-Boeing Field is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the nation, with more than 180,000 takeoffs and landings each year.
