OLYMPIA -- Gov. Jay Inslee travels to the Museum of Flight this morning to sign legislation passed over the weekend in the hurry-up special session.

Probably an appropriate backdrop, considering the session was all about luring a new Boeing assembly line and wing manufacturing plant for the 777X, and the Museum of Flight is at Boeing Field, just down from Boeing facilities, and there are lots and lots of Boeing planes inside and out.

On Saturday, after the Legislature wrapped and the many fathers of the legislative victory assembled with Inslee for a victory press conference, the governor was asked when the "dog and pony show" of bill signing would take place. Normally these occur in the governor's conference room.

Time and date to be determined, Inslee said, but added: "Just dogs. It's a Lean Management things. We don't use ponies."

Apparently Lean Management does, however, allow the use of planes.
