Can somebody tell me why Boeing moved from Seattle to Chicago? That makes no sense.
They just moved their top level corporate headquarters. They've merged so many companies into Boeing in the last several years that Seattle isn't central to their other operations especially defense related buisinesses. It was also to send a message to the Washington state legislature and labor unions that Boeing would be willing to locate manufacturing of new aircraft to other states if they weren't treated well.
Chicago is more centrally located than Seattle.
