I'd rather have the bottle refilling stations.

But this is stupid.

That is such a dump of an airport. Food options are poor and the lines for the limited options that they have were ridiculous. For a tech city, it's hilarious that their airport tech is from 20 years ago.

Most of the public water fountains in B/CS have been turned off for the last few years. Still are.

Some areas are nice and some are totally crappy. Portland's airport is much nicer, but it's in Portland.

Sea-Tac is an armpit of an airport. Possibly the worst major one in the US.

That's the truth.

I've been through airport many of times, it's the poster child of what happens when government gets involved.

I've been flying in and out of Sea-Tac for the past two years (United 1k). Absolute dump doesn't even begin to describe it. It begins upon arrival and if you get dropped off, there is a mile long line because of poor design. Restrooms would make every 3rd world airport description, escalators broken (every week), lounges are crap, food options are bad. They do have signs up that it is a "safe space" though.

Amazon has threatened Seattle to update their airport or they will continue moving out of the region.

Totally forgot to mention this after I flew back to Texas last week.

Another case of liberal stupidity post pandemic is that SeaTac airport has removed ALL water fountains from the airport due to hygiene related-concerns and not enough staff to ensure regular cleaning. Absolutely ridiculous they do it 3 years past this starting, when it is pretty much a non-issue.

So if you want water there are a few bottle filling stations here or there, drink from the tap in the bathrooms, or spend $5 on bottled water from concessionaires/restaurants if you do not have your own bottle.




Guess it never occurred to them to just turn the ****ing water off to the fixtures rather than removing them?

In most of the parks, like Park Hudson trail and Tanglewood Park (if I recall correctly).

I prefer bottle filling stations, but I use them

And conveniently forces more people to buy things at captive audience airport prices

But I'm sure this is just a happy coincidence and definitely not a perfectly defining encapsulation of all of the COVID nonsense

How I imagine people in that cesspool drink from water fountains.

I haven't been in that airport since 2007, it must have gone down hill bad. The only reason I ever really liked SeaTac was for the USO. It was small but it was open 24hrs and had an entire bunk room to crash out in if you needed it. They'd come wake you too for your flight.

Quote:

The restroom features 10 single-person stalls, a private urinal room, a central sink area, toddler changing tables and a water bottle refill station. Twelve members of the LGBTQIA+ community and allied artists contributed 22 pieces of artwork for the wall outside the restroom entrance.

What is it in the left's mind that makes bathrooms need to be about inclusivity? What about girls who don't want to go to the bathroom with men in there? Or vice versa.
The "inclusivity" is for 0.2% of the population. The rest just need to suffer.
