Outside the Museum of Flight restoration center at Paine Field, in sight of the airport tower, the very first Boeing 727 (left) keeps company with a 1949 T-28 Trojan, a post World War II trainer, according to Barry Horner at the restoration center. Horner said the airplane was made by North American Aviation, a company now a part of the Boeing Co.
A vision takes flight Study sees $20 million impact from vintage aircraft campus Herald Writer
EVERETT — John Sessions wants to elevate Paine Field’s reputation among historic aircraft aficionados to an even higher level. The Seattle attorney and developer introduced a plan last year to build a specialized campus at the Snohomish County Airport for displaying and restoring vintage airplanes. Now Sessions’ vision is supported by a study, which he submitted to the County Council in July. The report, produced by lawyers, architects and an economist, estimates the campus could add more than $20 million per year to the local economy. “The experience is greater than the sum of the parts when you have four or five world-class attractions,” Sessions said. “We’re on our way to being a top-10 or

even a top-five destination as is. What would add some bandwidth to the experience would be to add some of the international institutions.” The plan submitted to the county calls for five buildings averaging 30,000 square feet each on the southwest portion of Paine Field. There would be space for Sessions’ Historic Flight Foundation and other museums, as well as restoration shops and perhaps an educational center. If it gets going, the complex could attract up to 150,000 visitors per year — more than half of them from outside the immediate area, the study estimated. The site would employ about 60 people. A first phase of buildings, in theory, could be finished within two years and a final phase by 2019. It’ll be up to elected officials to decide whether to

Congress may be unpopular but voters in Tuesday’s primary showed plenty of support for Snohomish County’s three incumbent members of the House of Representatives. Democratic U.S. Reps. Suzan DelBene in the 1st Congressional District, Rick Larsen in the 2nd District and Jim McDermott in the 7th District each led by a wide margin after the initial round of ballot counting.

EVERETT — Snohomish County’s appointed executive, John Lovick, attracted support from almost half of primary voters to stay in his job for another year. Initial ballot returns showed the Democrat with 32,728 votes — 47.1 percent of the 69,423 tallied as of Tuesday night. Sultan Mayor Carolyn Eslick, a Republican, was running second in the three-candidate field, with 26,939 votes, 38.8 percent of the total. Early returns from the top-two primary make Lovick and Eslick the leading contenders to face off Nov. 4 for a special one-year term in office. “I feel great to be moving onto the general election,” said Lovick, who was celebrating with other Democrats at Everett’s Labor Temple. “It’s going to be an energizing and exciting campaign.”
