Chinese President Xi Jinping's plane will land at Paine Field on Tuesday morning. It's a smarter move than flying into busy Sea-Tac, plus it puts him in Boeing's backyard. He'll be welcomed by a delegation that includes former Washington governors Christine Gregoire and Gary Locke.

Xi will spend most of Tuesday at the Westin Hotel where he'll be meeting with local officials such as Washington governor Jay Inslee and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray as well as the governors of Oregon, California, Michigan and Iowa. Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is expected to be there as well.
