Baggage Claim
 
Seattle Tacoma International Airport
Seattle, WA
July 27, 2013
 
For many of us, a trip to the airport means either excitement or dread at the prospect of security lines, overhead carry-on bins and a long flight to somewhere exotic. Recently, a group of friends and I made SeaTac Airport our destination for the day. After a wonderful breakfast at Geraldine's Counter in Columbia City, we grabbed the Sound Transit Link Light Rail and rode the train in comfort to the airport.
 
Not surprisingly, the airport is a great launching pad for an adventure. There is lots of public art, interesting architecture, people on the go and food to grab along the way. My friends and I explored SeaTac from top to bottom; from the chapel on the second floor to baggage claim on the ground floor. I think several airplane passengers thought us odd to be so enthralled with the place - I like to think we were awed by the sights in our own backyard.
