SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUR SEA LAYOVER

We are creating a series of “things to do” at each airport.  This is to help you use your layover as wisely as possible.  We can’t always help that we are held up at an airport but if we can take advantage of the time we have there, then we hope you find the following suggestions useful:

Don’t forget how flexible your membership to the Sanctifly gym, swimming or spa is.  You can use it for an hour or more to suit the time you have available.  You can get single use membership or come onboard for full corporate membership for your business.

SUB-POP RECORDS

If you’re a music fan, then head over to Sub-Pop Records and check out some obscure vinyl and CDs. Especially if you’re a fan of the many bands that came out of the Seattle area in the 1990s, load up on nostalgia and pick up stickers and other memorabilia.

ART IN THE AIRPORT

Enjoy SeaTac’s diverse and breathtaking collection of contemporary work in glass, sculpture, photography, painting and sound. For more details, check out the SeaTac Art in the Airport brochure.
