Sea-Tac Seattle Tacoma International Airport

October 3, 2024 by KOYAMASHOHEI

After landing and getting off the plane, I walked toward the "baggage claim" sign and noticed a brightly lit passageway that led me away from the sign.

The light leads us to a beautiful plaza with a view of the blue sky and airplanes, which is beautifully displayed by the high skyline and windows.

I watch the planes pass by, remembering that if lucky, here I will be able to enjoy the music of a Seattle- raised musician playing in the plaza.

I realize that I have arrived... at Beautiful SEATAC.
