On the eve of what would be the largest sex-discrimination lawsuit ever to go to trial, The Boeing Co. yesterday reached a financial settlement of the class-action suit involving about 28,000 former and current female employees in the Puget Sound area.

Meanwhile, the federal court trial, scheduled to begin Monday in Seattle, will be delayed.
