Postcard - SeaTac, Washington

"Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The largest and busiest airport in the Pacific Northwest is also the terminus for Alaska, the Orient, Polar flights to Europe, Hawaii and all points of the U.S. The Terminal provides a complete and unique shopping area for visitors and tourists alike. Complete new facilities will be ready in 1974. Light streaks in the sky are from landing jets."

Obviously from the early 1970s. I like the Polar flights to Hawaii! Holy Detour, Batman!

In Washington State the term "Orient" is nearly extinct, and today it would replaced by "Asia" on this postcard.
