Slew of Seattle items

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is having a grand opening of the new south concourse on Saturday.

There are some interesting articles about aspects of the new terminal, including a neat 90-foot-long glass art piece and the P-I’s overview of the new terminal. The latter notes that Sea-Tac started out as a Quonset hut in an open field in 1947…hey, sounds like Logan 2000!

In smaller construction news, planning for a new playground near where I grew up continues.

The P-I’s Robert Jamieson has an interesting column in today’s paper on the roving homeless camp and how it came to Bothell.

Last but not least, some South Sound businesses are being helped onto the World Wide Web. Anyone for almond butter toffee salmon jerky?

(And, yes, these are regional articles and not Seattle-centric…but the title pun was too good to miss.)
