East face of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, 1950
Order an ImageSeattle-Tacoma International Airport opened officially in 1949, providing the region with a state-of-the-art passenger and freight gateway to Alaska and Asia. Four major airlines served Sea-Tac: United, Pan American, Northwest and Western.
This 1950 photo shows the front of Seattle-Tacoma Airport. A bus, several cars and a motorcycle with a sidecar have parked on the entry ramp in front of the building. That year, nearly 541,000 passengers arrived or departed from Sea-Tac. In 1997, over 24.7 million passengers used the airport, and parking was a much bigger problem.
