Sea-Tac Airport
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), often referred to as Sea-Tac Airport, is 17 miles from Bellevue, Washington. It's actually located in the city of SeaTac, which named after the airport's "Sea-Tac" nickname. Operated by the Port of Seattle, Sea-Tac is the Pacific Northwest's gateway to the globe, and vice versa.
Fun Fact: Bellevue is just a 17 mile drive north of Sea-Tac on Interstate 405. Seattle is about the same distance from Sea-Tac on Interstate 5.
