I'm assuming Boeing made the Stealth Bomber, otherwise the name doesn't make sense.
According to Wiki, Northrop Grumman (Based in L.A.) developed the B-2 Bomber.

Boeing did develop the F-22 Raptor alongside Lockheed Martin.

Glad you brought that up, learn something new every day!




Edit: Apparently, they were the Stealth in San Jose as well. They will be known as the "Washington Stealth"

Quote:
The decision to name the team the Washington Stealth, as opposed to the Everett Stealth, was intended to give the team an identity throughout the state, said team president and general manager Johnny Mouradian.

"There's going to be one team in the state, and it's going to be our team," he said. "We want to be inclusive, and to invite everybody in the state to be a big part of it."
