Description
Sea-Tac Airport saw 60-minute wait times at several security checkpoints by early Friday morning.
“The airport seems very filled," said one passenger who was heading home. "I woke up early because I don’t want to miss my flight back to Phoenix. It seems like a lot more, a lot more people traveling this weekend."
The airport was so busy Friday, airport spokesperson Perry Cooper expected to possibly break a record. The highest passenger volume ever was on one day in August of 2019 when there were 72,000 outbound passengers and 194,000 total passengers. But Friday was expected to surpass that with a projected 74,000 people flying out and 200,000 passengers total.
