I have a theory, as yet unproven, that you can judge a city by its airport. So, while Dulles is a sprawling mecca for status consumerism and chain restaurants, Seattle's SeaTac airport is full of wonderful, quirky, shops and local flavor. Seriously, it's almost worth flying across the country just to go to the airport. They have a wonderful shop called "Firecracker" that is only the third place I've ever seen Sticks furniture (the other two being galleries in Asheville and Reston). Next time you're there, eat at Northwest foodie Kathy Casey's Dish D'Lish. I took a Turkey "Thanksgiving All Year" sandwich on the plane (havarti, turkey, cranberry-blueberry chutney, goat cheese and chive spread on organic bread). Yummm! If you can't go, visit Kathy's website for inspiration and products.
