Was wondering the same thing. While driving by it looked to be unmarked, but still in Korean Air blue.

As far as I know it is going to act as the base line for the B748.

According FlightAware (call sign BOE 573) the 744 aircraft came from Incheon Intl (RKSI/ICN) , via Anchorage, and landed at 11.56 PDT Augt. 6th at KBFI.
The arrival of this aircraft is discussed in : Official 747-8 Flight Tracking Thread #2 (by moderators Jun 23 2010 in Civil Aviation)
Start with reply 71 from Laddie,
"Company sources say that the 747-400BCF will be part of the Flight Test fleet for the next couple of months. Hmmm....perhaps to serve as a baseline against which to compare the 747-8F? But baseline for what? Noise? Fly over the microphones at Glasgow, MT, with the -400BCF, then follow immediately with the -8F?"
"Testing, scheduled to begin in early October and continue over several months, will consist of the Freighter and a 747-400 reference airplane making repeated landing approaches."
