SEATAC – When you hear the phrase “entertainment district” what do you usually think of?

Downtown Seattle?

Las Vegas?

How about SeaTac?

The city of SeaTac has just announced that it plans to create an “entertainment district” that would include retail, dining and entertainment facets.

The city has hired Heartland LLC, a Seattle real estate consultant, to devise a strategy for the district.

The area that SeaTac officials have targeted is around the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Sound Transit light rail station now under construction at International Boulevard and South 176th Street, which is scheduled to open at the end of next year.

The district would target airport travelers and workers, city officials said.
