Seattle, Washington

A major seaport city in the Pacific Northwest and a massive aerospace hub due to the presence of Boeing. Seattle frequently appears in early UFO files as a routing center for military intelligence investigating the 1947 wave. It was also the staging ground for the investigation into the controversial 1947 Maury Island incident, which resulted in the tragic crash of a B-25 bomber carrying military investigators.
