Narrative:

While being hand-parked at seatac gate, aircraft's #1 engine impacted jetway. Mechanic had lined us up on a 727 line instead of the correct 737 line. Extent of damage to #1 engine blades and nacelle was extensive, probably made worse by the fact that #2 was shut down (in accordance with company procedures) and parking was being accomplished by only #1 engine at a high power setting. Jetway was slightly damaged and there were no injuries.
