Having a long layover in the Seattle airport used to be painful. Sometime while I was in Venezuela, that all changed. Now the airport has a giant food court and several nice little shops. I can't resist spending time in their bookstore. Best of all is the lounge that overlooks the runway. A 60 foot glass wall gives you the full view of planes and sunsets. I spent a couple hours there this weekend as I traveled to Eastern Washington for a Christian conference and to see my brother.
