Elon Musk flies from Creekside to Seattle for SpaceX factory work

Elon Musk flew from Creekside Airport in California to Seattle Paine Field International on June 1, 2026, aboard his Gulfstream G550 N272BG. The 1-hour-53-minute hop landed at 4:05 PM local time, the second of his five aircraft to visit the region that day.

The same week, per a local Seattle Times report on June 2, Boeing and SpaceX are finalizing an expanded partnership for use of the Everett Delivery Center for Starship payload integration. Musk's presence at Paine Field—home to Boeing's widebody assembly line and a growing SpaceX office cluster—suggests direct talks on the shared hangar space agreement.

In the preceding week, Elon Musk shuttled repeatedly between California and Washington state, including a May 29 flight from San Jose to Paine Field and back. The pattern indicates a sustained weeklong engagement with the Pacific Northwest operations, rather than a simple single-meeting turn. The G550 is the elder statesman of his fleet but remains his go-to for mid-range west coast loops.
