Seattle will find out April 12 whether it will get a NASA space shuttle for the new Space Gallery under construction at the Museum of Flight.
The Seattle museum is one of more than two dozen across the country that have indicated an interest in hosting one of four retiring space shuttles after the program ends later this year.
The framework for a glass wall of the museum's 15,500 Space Gallery was lifted into place Wednesday.
On Thursday, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden told a House committee he will announce the decision on where the shuttles will go on April 12, the 30th anniversary of the first space-shuttle launch.
