Airport


My airport was Seattle-Tacoma International airport (SeaTac). There are many interesting things about this aiport like the history, airline carriers, services at the aiport, the rank among other airports, and some attractions near the airport.
The Port of Seattle built Seattle–Tacoma Airport in the early 1940's. The airport, which is now in the city of SeaTac but was originally in unincorporated King County land, is located twelve miles south of Seattle, and twenty miles north of Tacoma. Following World War II, the first scheduled commercial flights out of the airport occurred in 1947.
In 1949, International was added to the airport's name as Northwest Airlines began offering direct service from Sea–Tac to Tokyo. Local residents commonly refer to the airport as "Sea-Tac".
There are about twenty two different airline carriers available at SeaTac airport. United airlines, Frontier airlines, Air Canada, Jet Blue airways, Horizon Air, Hawaiian airways, American Trans Air, Continental Airlines, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Northwest Seaplanes, Delta Airlines, and Prime Air Inc. are just a few of the carriers that are available to you.
Not only can you just fly at the airport but you can listen to music, shop, and eat!


The Space Needle is the symbol of Seattle is recognized throughout the world, and no wonder. A trip to the Sky Bar located at the top of the Space Needle affords a 360-degree, rotating view of the city and is located only 15 miles from the airport. The Monorail was built for the 1962 World’s Fair, the futuristic monorail runs from the Seattle Center to the downtown shopping area, Westlake Center, which is only 13.3 miles from the Seattle airport. Also, the Aquarium Open daily and 13.3 miles from the airport; the Seattle Aquarium includes interactive tide pool tanks and features exhibits of local sea life, including jellyfish, seals and otters.
So overall Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is #3 in the world. If the doesn’t...
