Snohomish County's largest airport will bear the name of a city not located within its territory. The county announced Tuesday that Paine Field's official name would be Seattle Paine Field International Airport, adding the Emerald City to the title. In a press release, the change will improve the airport's marketing abilities outside of the region and "reinforce its geographic proximity" to Seattle. “The continued economic health of Paine Field is one of Snohomish County’s top priorities,” said Dave Somers, Snohomish County Executive. “With nearly $60 billion in yearly economic impact and over 150,000 jobs, the airport must continually find new ways to strengthen our marketing and brand. This change will significantly bolster our business attraction and marketing efforts while protecting the historical significance of the Paine Field name.” READ THE FULL STORY HERE: https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/everett/everetts-paine-field-new-official-name-seattle/281-4ec738da-fb9a-4c09-a714-64bbc5751998
