Washington is home to the World's Largest Building..

Washington is home to the world's largest building by volume. Boeing's plant in Everett is over 472 million cubic feet.

March 29, 2006 The main Boeing factory building in Everett, Washington is the home of the 747, 767, 777 and 787 airplanes, and is recognized by Guinness World Records as the largest building in the world by volume. The building now holds a second world record as it has just been adorned with a new mural which comprises more than 100,000 square feet (9,290 square meters) of pressure-sensitive graphic film, and has been recognised as the largest digital graphic in the world.

The mural covers all six factory doors on the south side of the building. The doors comprising the mural are 82 feet (25 meters) high and range in width from 300 to 350 feet (91 to 107 meters). Each is about the length of a National Football League (NFL) field.
