Southwest® flights to Seattle/Tacoma starting at $67

When you deplane at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, you’ll be in the city of SeaTac—almost equidistant between Seattle and Tacoma. Hop on the light rail train, a regional train, a bus, or rent a car to have the most freedom to explore both of these cities during your visit.

If you travel north from the airport, you’ll find yourself in Seattle, the Emerald City. Seattle is a can’t-miss destination for lovers of arts and culture, the birthplace of music genres, and the home of over 20 live theatre venues and one of the country’s most renowned arts districts. Consider starting your exploration in Pioneer Square with art galleries, author readings, landmark buildings, and beloved restaurants. Then explore the Experience Music Project (EMP) in Seattle Center, one of the only institutions of its kind dedicated to pop music. While at Seattle Center, make sure to summit everyone’s favorite symbol of Seattle: the Space Needle. The focal point of the 1962 World’s Fair, the Space Needle’s most recent renovations have given the landmark two distinct sky decks—a glass-floor experience and an open-air area.
